6 months after Rupture Achilles Tendon Surgery: Power Skating Crashed Ice Hockey Skills - BLADEBLAZE

In Real Time: Brian of http://BladeBlaze.com Ice Hockey Power Skating Extreme rehab session with a bit of Red Bull Crashed Ice style. I can't jump or run, real hard to push off, got one calve twice as big as the other...




it's been six months since I had surgery to put my ruptured achilles tendon back together... it snaped in half, rolled up into my calve, my foot was just dangling... wasn't very cool... glad to be back on the ice!




For all the Achilles people who follow the logs for their own comparison; Along with the "can't run or jump", I still have a limp when I get up from bed early in the morning, but it gradually goes away (it takes about 15 minutes). I still have to wear comfortable shoes and I get that odd tingle pain once in a while...

How many weeks before you tried to skate?

[bladeblazecom]

@ChicknFrydSkank .. I first tried to skate 5 months after surgery, much easier than walking, jogging... I didn`t recover very well after surgery, I had to wait 2 months before starting rehab for just to walk again. That vid wasn`t easy to make, a lot of pain killers, stayed off the bad foot as much as possibe. Skating right, is no impact compare to running.

Nice vid. Any chance you can mention your routine for getting back into shape with a timeline? I was VERY athletic before my injury and hope to get back to, but don't want any setbacks.

I ruptured my Achilles one month ago. I get my cast off in one week and will wear the ROBOCOP boot and will start therapy soon after.

I mention some stuff below.. developing balence is a big deal. The Wii Fit board with its balence games was a massive help. Timelines are different with everyone, it does take a very long time, I'm still not close to having my calve musle back. There is a lot of support and timeline examples online, eg. achillesblog dotcom is a great one..

Sweet video, just popped my Achilles two weeks ago. How long were you in a cast for? How long before you were using weight bearing activities? I still hopes of being on the ice for the fall season, but that will be close.

proper recreational skating is non-impact, so I was doing that far before any activities with running jumping... I didn't play my first full league game until 9 months after surgery. I tried to play 6 months in and quickly relized that was stupid, get'n bumped, crashed, leaned on... It's been 13 months snice surgery, still got nerve pain and lots of rehab to go..

wow! Inspiring!! It seems like you didn't suffer any accident!! Great!

thanks for posting. I keep a video blog as well but I don't publish it. I'm at 6.5 months since the surgery and can now do most everything. The hardest is walking downstairs and squatting. Toe raises are still hard and I can identify about the morning issues. If you're interested, go to patrinabird for my videos.
