I know exactly what you feel breh, I tore my Achilles January 2018 also playing soccer. I just started playing again this summer. I had a full rupture and was able to get in for surgery only four days later. If you can, push for surgery as soon as possible and start the recovery process from there. Actually found a lot of useful tips on AchillesBlog.com.

The first few months are the worst but beyond that it’ll just take a lot of physio. I’d recommend swimming and getting on a stationary bike once you start physio.
Ayy breh thanks for the advice and encouragement. Your story gives me hope. How is it to play?

For me, they suspect it’s not a full rupture but I’ll find out this morning as I see the specialist soon. Ima check out that blog too.

Thanks bro.

Worked out to 240/pair, face value. Because renewal starts in March I had to catch up to other SSH holders. So it was about 53% down and then the remaining is monthly until February.

Gonna offer most games at face to friends/fam/any Raptor brehs in here. Was able to get 101, row 13 and close to aisle. Decent angled view.

Didn't get them for profit reasons but can't say it's not tempting seeing these surges for the home opener/ring ceremony, Kawhi's return and LAL. Like 1/3 of the cost paid right there,heh.

Diagnosis: Full rupture of my right Achilles.

They told me no surgery would be required since I got it casted within the week of the injury. Risk of reinjury is the same as with surgery 3-4% says a new study of 10k patients.

I’ve actually only played more laid back pick up so far to get back into speed. It’s been okay so far, and I probably could’ve started earlier but the whole process makes you overly cautious. You can definitely play again and get back to same level of physical activity as a younger dude ( assuming we are around the same age - I just turned 30)

Also very important to find a good physio once you are ready to start. A lot of people half ass it - find someone with history/experience dealing with the injury and even preferably with athletes if you can. Make sure they also massage the tissue that builds up post surgery, that ish is a bytch and limits your range of motion. Find myself still dealing with that now.

If you do the physio regularly and stick on schedule it’ll be okay. Just gotta get through the first month or so of stationary activity.

Honestly not an expert by any means, you did mention the non-surgical recovery had similar results according to recent study so you should be fine.

Re: Physio I work in Ottawa, and my physio was here so not sure about Toronto-area ones. Do some digging on the reviews and call them to see if they have expertise on achilles and/or sports rehab. Best of luck breh and keep us updated on how its going.
