Cari's Achilles Tendon Rupture Recovery Video Blog #4
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 9:29PM Cari's video blog #4, 6 weeks post surgery for her Achilles Tendon Rupture. She has had some difficulty with her wound healing after she took a spill while using her crutches and split it open. Her walking boot rubs on the wound and that isn't helping at all.

Looks real good. Have a question for ya if you don't mind? I just ruptured(complete) my acheilles on 1/24/10 and 12 days post op I still have a lot of swelling in the ankle area...can't hardly see my lateral and medial malleolus. But, what has me concerned is my calf muscle is totally falccid, and even when I do light range of motion it hardly moves. In additon to this, my thompson test is still negative? Not sure if this is normal or not so any insight would be nice before I go see the Doc for follow up.
I'm sorry to hear about your achilles tendon rupture. I definitely know what you are going through. I can't speak as to exactly what is happening in your situation, but I felt similarly during my recovery. It took months before I saw any definition return to my calf and even now, almost six months out, I still have significant atrophy. I'm sure you are healing just fine, but if you are concerned, you should contact your doctor. I wish you a speedy recovery!
