Hey bros,
Had a mishap in the gym last Thursday. Doing calves, I felt my Achilles snap and knew it wasn't good. Limped away and left the gym. Had it taped up in urgent care until I could see the ortheped Dr today. I'm having no pain walking with a bad limp, can press with the ball of my foot a little, have stiffness but descent mobility in ankle plantal/dorsal/abduct/adduct. Some bruising and swelling, not bad. So I know its not a complete rupture. No surgery necessary.
I go to a Dr who works with the MD Terps, but I don't feel he diagnosed me carefully. He is asking the same treatment as a full rupture, huge bulky boot and crutches 24hr for 6wks. Could have surgery as an option.
Zero pain unless I were to do one leg calf raises with bodyweight.
Any opinions?
