I had a complete rapture and the surgery. Be patient, those heel raises are the last struggle, they are so difficult to achieve and it takes a lot of time and patience. I'm on my 8th month like this guy and I can do heel raises with both feet but I still can't do a single heel raise, because I'm lacking a certain percentage of strength on my metatarsus, but I will gain it back again. So don't worry if you can't do a single heel raise yet. A lot of people recover differently. We are working on gaining strength.
I had non surgical repair of my rupture and I’m about to turn over to the 8 month mark and just started straight line running. 2 months ago it looked like I was going in for a tendon graft and it all came together. Just trust the process anyone out there going through it. It only gets easier
I can roughly 90% weight heel raise. But getting to the single heel raise i just cant make the transition. To much pain. Been stuck at this stage the past month now. I only get one physio appointment per month. I got back this week and feel like no progress has been made. Im at the 7 month stage now.
This patient is about 1 year and 8 months after surgery, any chance you can get them in for a progress video. I need to see what the inflammation looks like and if they are able to do the single calf raise for motivation
I am at this same time frame and still dealing with quite a bit of pain in the outer heal area when I walk or try to push off the balls of my feet. Worried
Is it normal feel pain after 3 months from surgery after walking on treadmill ! I Believe overworked out with 12 PT sessions plus my own schedule! Please any advice ? Thank u 🙏
I was able to hit a single leg calf raise 3 months post surgery. I'm at 7 months now and can run decently, jump, etc. However, my single leg calf raise height hasnt increased much.. I'm hoping in the next few months I can get more range of motion during the single calf raise. Side note, I ruptured my left achilles 2 years ago. Then I ruptured my right achilles 7 months ago.. 😅
@AlexSmith-zn5sf so both of them happened while playing basketball. 1st time I jumped, landed, then tried to sprint forward and my left achilles snapped. Second time I simply did a backstep and the right one snapped. It's been a year and 3 months since my right Achilles rupture now btw. I'm never playing basketball again lol
I'm roughly 8 months out now and just started them. My single leg calf raises aren't very hight, but present and improving. Don't skip any scheduled workout and stretching days. They all count.
You need to see a physiotherapist. I thought I was doomed after 4 months, but I'm now able to run after 6½ months. I only had 7 physio sessions mind you. (And it was all about massaging, ultrasound, and inducing electricity)
Which excercises was the patient doing before month 8 im in month 7 and still cant do the one leg calf raise but i can jogg really soft and calf raise pretty well my flexibility is not bad but not pretty well
Hello im 50 days post op surgery achilles tendon is it normall to fell so so stiff and hard i cant reach nautral position as if my achilles cant streach is this normall will it become more elastic in future
You'll be feeling stiffness in your achilles for at least 6 months. The first 3 months are terrible. It's completely normal to feel extremely stiff at your point in time. I went through this surgery twice, so I know the feeling you're feeling too well lol. You'll get that range and flexibility back over time, as long as you take rehab seriously throughout your recovery process.
I ruptured left Achilles. Lower almost at the outside above heel. I’m bout a year removed from surgery and I’m still sore after hoops. Any suggestions?

Wow, I hope to do that in 8 months !
Did you?
@@bastard342 I can’t jump ass good & my single legs calf raises aren’t that high but hopefully soon
8 months you should be able to run its 4 to 6 months to be able to do what the guy is doing at the video

Have a similar experience, how's it feeling now?
I have a question sir! What will happen if you torn your Achilles tendon again? The same Achilles that have the surgery?
Im now back to work after 4 weeks.
Is it normal feel pain after 3 months from surgery after walking on treadmill !
I Believe overworked out with 12 PT sessions plus my own schedule!
Please any advice ?
Thank u 🙏
You may have had a collagen deficiency. Plenty of protein and vitamin c. The Vitamin C creates collagen and keratin from amino acids in the body.

Yo that's my biggest fear. I've ruptured the right one 4 months ago an I'm addressing all imbalances in my body as I rehab to prevent exactly that..
How did the second one happen if you don’t mind me asking?

I’m 5 months post opp and I can do all of those and run… I guess I’m doing well
You’re doing good a guy 7months in said he can’t do calf raises
@@bastard342 eccentric calf raises are key. Don’t force it if your ready your not ready
7 months post op and I'm not close to single leg calf raises.
That’s sad lol

I'm at week 9 and can do them only in pool :/
I ruptured my right Achilles years ago. My right calf even with working out never got back to how it once was. Oh well I’m glad my doc fixed me!
So even after you got surgery it hasn't gotten back to its original good condition?
Please reply when you see this
I’m having the same problem with left calf
Which excercises was the patient doing before month 8 im in month 7 and still cant do the one leg calf raise but i can jogg really soft and calf raise pretty well my flexibility is not bad but not pretty well
Every month makes huge difference think you'll be behind but keep surprising yourself closer to the 9-12 month mark
I’m on 7months I can’t do single calf raises and I can’t jog or run. I heard that some people it took them 18months
I’m walking after 5 weeks
That's awesome! Doing stairs too?
