Go to Orthopedic Surgeon ASAP!

Had a friend who had a injured his achilles playing football, the trainer looked at it, they ran some tests and xrayed it, couldn't see a problem. He struggled with it for a while, then he went to the ortho doc, had an MRI done and there was a partial tear on the interior. He made it worse by trying to work through the pain and it would have been so much better had he gotten off of it right away and had it fixed immediately. Get it looked at right away.

That is a serious injury, and needs to be looked at by a dr.

I have had a few friends with this injury, from a complete tear to minor tear to severe strains. It ranged from six weeks to over a year. You really need the MRI and doctors advice in my opinion.

I agree. I had a friend who tore his pushing a car some years back. He was stubborn about not going to have it checked and he struggled with that injury for a very, very long time. Go to the doctor and check the extent of the damage and plan your healing and rehab.

feel bad for you

yes, my fiance had it mid last year. he was doing calves and he got injured.
if it is a full tear you would know about it for sure, and you say it's partial.
My man works at a hospital and had his checked, (it was partial).
The doc recomended a lot of rest, antyinflamatories and hot and cold compresses. There is not much you can do about it if it is partial and the healing time is rughly 4-5months. (That is from my man's experience)
I see many people suggest you to go see a doc.
Maybe you should, only you know how you feel...
Take care, hope you get better fast.

I had a complete rupture sugery to reattach. It took six months to heal 2 years to be 100 percent. A tear needs 4-6 moths to completely heal. You are lucky just rest it,

SUCKS!

i had complete separation on mine! a year and a half later the shit still hasnt come back right. It was more than 8 weeks before i was able to use it again.. use meaning be able to get my foot flat on the floor and apply pressure to it. Good luck on the recovery , See a specialist (if you havent already) it will shorten the recovery time. For me this was by far the worst injury i have ever had.
