I just ruptured my Achilles’ tendon but it is not a complete tear. I have two choices according to the doctor
1. Surgery, in a boot for at least 8 weeks and a lot of rehab, a total of about 6 months to heal
2. No surgery, boot with lifts up and then back down for at least 8 weeks and then rehab, a total of about 6 months to heal
There is a chance of another rupture without surgery but a small chance with surgery.
I’m 55, very active and don’t want to lose that opportunity. Have any of you had this and what course did you take?
Any help is appreciated.
