Achilles Tendon rupture ,tear, tendonitis - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim

[bumblebee1924]

Now I'm scared to touch my ankle

[brendandylanmaloney]

I heard a pop in mine but it doesnt even hurt that much.I can also walk but it hurts a little bit. Is it painful when it happens or am I an alien,haha ! Is it possible to hear the pop and have it just strained ? My body heals super fast too because i detox every day and my cells are super healthy so I heal real fast.

[MrZaz09]

i gt my pain when i walk and it hurts my heel and on the part wher the achilles ends and iv had if for 3 weeks now. its starin to piss me off

[aygachu]

hopefully it's not this and just normal pain but i've been feeling pain in my achilles tendon for a long while now and it especially hurts during the morning that it makes it difficult to walk

[nabilebraheim]

@aygachu see a doc

[jazzygirl3699]

@aygachu same here.. for about a month i had pain there and every time i woke up or got up from a sitting position, it would hurt.. alot. It subdued for a bit but has come back..

[Makeupfanatic4life]

Mine has been killing me .. I got Achilles Tendonitis like 3 yrs ago. I'm a runner but haven't been running in like half a year. It hurts worse with no weight or stress on it. I went to 3 doctors and none of them know what's up .. Grrr ,, :/.. It really hurts i dont know what to do :(

[Makeupfanatic4life]

@Makeupfanatic4life I had an x-ray but it it did't show anything .. but i know for a fact something is up .. :/

[nabilebraheim]

@Makeupfanatic4life may need an MRI

see a foot specialist

[nabilebraheim]

@nerfdj99 see a doc

it could be a tear

[bitcheskillar]

oh fuck...

after having seen this i feel like never doing sports again :O

[nabilebraheim]

@bitcheskillar rupture of the tendon is rare

[yuongsoh]

@bitcheskillar I Have A Football Game Saturday And My Recovery Is Not Looking Good Right Now. I Just Wanna Make Solid Tackles And Scored 8 Touchdowns. Smh

[APRILBALDERAS]

my hubby juss ruptured his achillies tendon,he says he heard the pop also..and is scared of having the surgury,if he does were screwed financially..ugh

[nabilebraheim]

@APRILBALDERAS surgery is better ,the infection rate is high

treatment with a cast or a brace will increase the chance of rec uuuance of the tear

[Jamerican44]

@APRILBALDERAS I know its over a month ago but hopefully he went the surgery. I just literally rupture mine playing flag football. I had the option of not doing surgery but negatives were a longer healing process and unsure of how it will heal. I went with the surgery and was in pain for about a day and had a little fever( all normal i guess). Feeling better and doc said I could possibly be off crutches after 2 weeks. Hoepfully everything went well with your hubby

[nabilebraheim]

@Jamerican44 great comment

[nauticazn25]

@APRILBALDERAS i ruptured mine playing basketball about 4 months ago....if the tear is really bad then surgery is almost a must ....i had surgery 10 days after the accident...tip...my insurance was very limited so it got used up on the surgery...physical therapy is a total rip off! they were gonna charge close to $400 an hour! i read somewhere, this guys bill got up to $40,000 in PT bills! ...i just did it myself going to the gym and swimming/running in the pool..if you have any questions reply

[dezal317]

man i might have to get that shit done to my foot an im not a fan of sugery

[nabilebraheim]

@dezal317 sorry to hear that

[BigGuySmash]

I suffered and injury to the Achilles Tendon almost 8 weeks ago now. I felt the "pop" that people hear. X-Rays showed that it didnt tear all the way through, but I feel as if the tendon on that ankle is larger than the other. The tendon is still too weak to walk off my toes. I squeeze my calf every once in a while and ankle doesnt move much or doesnt look like it does at all. What do I do now?

[nabilebraheim]

@BigGuySmash see a doc

and get an MRI

[rockman378]

@nabilebraheim i have the same problem but im 14 please help me :(

[nabilebraheim]

@rockman378 therapy ,therapy

[RyanBostonRedsox9]

Thanks a ton!

[nabilebraheim]

@RyanBostonRedsox9 thanks

[heyyy19]

If someone is dealing with achilles tendonitis, how long should they expect to rest before continuing physical activity pain free?

[nabilebraheim]

@heyyy19 as much time that is needed to relief the pain

[n77ool]

A beautiful explanation but how can I distinguish between Achilles tendonitis and achilles tendon strain or partial tear

[nabilebraheim]

@n77ool very hard to tell the difference for sure

may need MRI if the condition is not resolving

[n77ool]

Thanks Nabil for response

[chinafox1]

for the surgery of achilles tendon, which approach is better ,lateral or medial approach

[nabilebraheim]

@chinafox1 medial approach is better

[chinafox1]

what is the nutrient supply to the achilles tendon

[nabilebraheim]

@chinafox1 there is an area in the acilles tendon that has apoor blood supply

this area is likely to tear

[nabilebraheim]

@chinafox1 there is an area with a poor blood supply

[elmoblatch15]

Very nice video...when can someone with a rupture of the achilles expect to be able to run and play sports again?

[nabilebraheim]

@elmoblatch15 after at least 3 month

[chinafox1]

[nabilebraheim]

[chinafox1]

[nabilebraheim]

partial tears and tendonitis treated conservatively rarely complete tear .
