What's your opinion on Aaron Rodgers? Do you think he'll be ok? I did hear that he was having MRIs throughout his recovery, so he has a little more insight into the length of his tendon. I just hope people don't get discouraged if it's taking them a while to heal compared to others. Don't compare! Heal on your body's terms.
@@davypettit I wish you a full recovery! It's an unfortunate injury, but we'll come back. I'm on week 18 now. Walking barefoot, jogging, and even starting to hop on my surgery leg. You'll get there!
Thanks for sharing. I’m about to hit my 6 week mark. I am not putting on as much weight through the boot as you are. I’ve been slow to recover because I’ve been nervous about putting weight on
You'll get there! It seems like different surgeons have different recovery protocols. I think taking a slower path is just fine. I'd rather be fully recovered than risk hurting myself. It looks like Aaron Rodgers is still having issues, and it's been nearly a year. I think it's possible he pushed recovery a little too much.
@anythingss according to my PT, the greatest risk for rerupture occurs around weeks 6-12. I'm guessing this is in part because people try to do more than they should. We are taking a more conservative approach, but I'm liking it. We aren't doing anything that hurts. My achilles feels a little tight at times, but never hurts. I think anything that puts sudden pressure on it is risky right now. No plyometrics for 6 months for the program I'm on.
@@activeintech make sense, I am @ week 7, and this is exactly what I am trying to do: AVOID anything but soft walks and small steps, always use the boot, & never stretch the tendon until week 13, ... god luck !
By week 6 of my Achilles recovery (post-op), I was walking without heel lifts in my boot and could walk moderately without shoes. I'd say you're fairly behind based on your walk in this video.
@antoniowhitfield2936 my surgeon and his team wouldn’t let me get out of my boot until week 10. I think different surgeons think differently about it. We'll see what happens from here. My main goal is a full recovery.
@@activeintechit is going well! I'm 9 weeks post-op as of today and pretty aggressive in physical therapy. Working my way up through the strengthening phase, but I'm fully back walking in shoes with minimal hitch, so life is starting to feel normal again.

I am so glad that you are recovering beautifully! SAVOR the FLAVOR of the awesomeness in that!
@@kdj1172 I am savoring the flavor! 😄
I had Achilles surgery last week at TCO. Will follow your videos to see what I have in front of me.

Glad you’re doing better, you’ll be back to American Ninja training in no time 💪🏼🙏🏼
I am more optimistic than before! It's going to be a long journey, but I think I'll be better than ever by the end of it!
It would be great to go over what are the riskiest PT moves that would case a rerupture. I kept hearing that calf raises do cause reruptures.

@anythingss thank you. I wish you the best of luck too!
Sir my heel is up after one month post surgery how it will be down means on the earth
I wish you a quick recovery!
I went the conservative root I never used crutches weight bearing from the beginning, no ow I'm in 8 week no boot and I can walk with no problems.
@jackoff7770 that's awesome! Keep up the great work! I finally started walking pretty normally at about 12 weeks.
