Ruptured Achilles Repair
I'm 60 and on week 8 of recovery after achilles surgery. The tendon is doing great, but having terrible sural nerve issues (numbness and nerve pain in lateral foot and ankle), which is thwarting my ability to rehab/walk. Surgeon says it may or may not get better... common consequence of achilles surgery. Any experience/tips for rehabbing/improving achilles with sural nerve issues? Want to be able to walk and of course ride, swim, etc., again.
