Hi and thanks for the advice, I fully understand the caution you give.

It will be 2 years in April and I would expect to play football by then.. however, It will be with ultimate caution. Sorry to hear about your re-rupture, what happened?

Hi, congratulations on going into the boot.. that is a week before me..I wish I had been in it sooner.! It was when I had the cast removed and boot on that I felt liberated although It was scary and stiff for a few days.. Its all about confidence and the sooner you put pressure on it the better... as you can see from the video, I felt like superman in the boot..Be careful though, the first 6 months are most precarious and likely to produce a dreaded RR.. good luck, Vegas eh.. awesome!

I agree with you and I will pay private when remove plaster.How many weeks you went with a private physiotherapist?(and days)

[vernyvernyvernyverny]

From memory I believe it was about 6 times over a 12 week period. This was sufficient in the sense that the exercises I was told to do, i could do them from home as opposed to paying. So once you learn them there is no need to go - for at least six months!

I am also consrvative without surgery,but on other forums some people will be in plaster 10-12 weeks.

Conservative treatment will allow the tendon to heal naturally and although some medical studies claim this is a weaker alternative-I disagree. Yakubu, the Everton Footballer had surgery and was out for 8 months. I opted for conservative and am at the same strength as him! Stick with it and pay for private healthcare (it's not that expensive) The money is well worth it!

hi..i ruptured my achilles feb 2nd 2010...i did not get surgery...i have re-ruptured it twice since then. just be very careful..go slow.

@rahdeeze get yourself on ebay and invest in a cheap ultra sound machine, 1MHZ is for deep tissue therapy - 3MHZ for just below the skin. Do some research on it the best investment I ever made,I have bought 2 in last 7 years and well worth money, got mine for around £40 - £50. And if you play sports if you get a calf strain or hamstring etc you can use it on them as well. The calf plays a big part in the Achilles tight calf means susceptible to strains and snaps. :)

My cast comes off in 2 weeks, which makes a total of 6 weeks, i'm going into the 'Robo-Cop" boot after that and will start PT that same week. People are telling me that i should cancell my vegas trip in late July..i plan to go with the boot and no crutches.. what would you suggest?
