Anybody in here ever had a partially torn achilles? :sadcam:

[O.T.I.S.]

do you still lift?

Yeah I do

Just not as intense or extreme as I used to. I was also overtraining in a sense. Between military training, playing sports for my command, and working out on my own multiple times a day, I was getting too big and wearing my body down

My body type puts on muscle fast af and overtraining makes me more likely to get injured if I do so. Now I probably work out about 3 times a week at the most, with isometric and other less strenuous exercises in between

I would love to get into something like hot yoga or something as well

How long did it take her to recover

And how she doing now

well this happened back in feb 2016. she is fine now. but it took a good 6 months in order to get right tho. I mean it's not like she's playing sports or anything.

there's this lady I work with who tore hers, recovered damn near, and tore it again. she's been in a walking boot basically the ENTIRE time I've known her.

I’m scared because I fukked mine up. Not sure how bad, but I still have some pain and the bump hasn’t gotten smaller almost a week later.

I can still walk and twist my ankle, but if I sit a certain way with my ankle angled and get up I feel pain and limp for a bit. I can do calf raises and walk on the balls of my feet. I read people can still do this even if it’s ruptured.

I know how it happened, and when it did I wasn’t feeling pain until hours later. Im hoping it’s just a strain. Icing helps and im using a bandage on it. A few days ago I would feel pain when putting some pressure on it, so wrapping wasn’t gonna happen. If I put a lot of pressure on one spot I feel pain.

Gonna give it another week before deciding if I’ll go to UC.
