    Re: Non Surgical repair of ruptured Achilles Tendon

    With a conservative approach I would wait until your boot is off. That said your hospital, consultant or physio should have provided you a protocol to follow with this approach. We should not undermine that with suggestions to do more

    Re: Non Surgical repair of ruptured Achilles Tendon

    Hi Lauren, having hobbled out of hospital this afternoon have had my final cast removed from non surgical interventuion for ruptured ach tendon, got gel wedge in heel of shoe and now waiting for physio to make appointment to come in, seeing as you must be well on the mend with your's what exercises did you get for the early days of recovery, don't worry I am not about to do anything daft as my leg is half the size of the good leg due to muscle wastage and my ankle is stiff as hell. Cheers, Ian, plus I am far older than you too
