Now that I have had the surgery, my late night thoughts bring me to the question of why would anyone want to go through a ruptured achilles tendon injury and not get it surgically repaired. Yes I researched and read information on how the nonsurgical option is good for someone that is not active or may not be able to afford the surgery. I also became aware that the time for healing is about the same with surgery as it was without surgery.

My doctor discussed the options with me and with not having surgery, the discomfort and not knowing the exact things that could be going on with my foot, was just not in the cards for me. I had the surgery and  the only thing I remember is being wheeled down the hall going to surgery and getting dressed and having the crutches placed under my arms.

What was funny for me is that my wife started telling me what the doctor said (good things) and the physical therapist was also in the room talking to her about some of the exercises that they will put me through. I now realize that the anesthesia is some powerful stuff and now that I am off of it and ready to go home, I’m glad that surgery went well and now it’s time for pain killers, leg elevation and rest.

Hello my friends, I am pretty sure you are reading this because you or someone you may know have just experienced some kind of achilles tendon injury. If so, “Did someone hit me in the back of the leg?”, may be the first question you asked yourself upon injuring your heel. I was playing basketball last week and after getting a rebound and dribbling the ball up court, this is what I initially thought when my achilles tendon ruptured. I even looked back and questioned the guys closest to me as well as the referee regarding getting hit in the back of the leg and they all had the same response which was, “no one hit me in the back of the leg.”

I knew then that it must be my achilles tendon! I remember seeing and hearing stories firsthand from athletes that I played with and against and how they felt like they got hit by a baseball bat, or getting shot by a gun or hit by a ball in the back of the leg. As a former Pro football player in the position of wide receiver, I always thought about how an achilles tendon injury could end my playing career however it was always ankle sprains and hamstring pulls. Ironically my playing career ended over 20+ years ago with a badly dislocated ankle break and not an achilles injury.

Now, let’s fast forward our way to the hospital to get x-rays/mri performed to see the damage, get fitted for a walking boot and schedule the followup visit to go over the options to have surgery or nonsurgical procedures done and get geared up for a long road to recovery.
Be Strong!
