Rough Day, was running circles around the 20 year olds at pickup hoops at the gym this morning and heard a pop in my Achilles. Praying its not a complete tear and just a partial tear so I would not need surgery 🙏 #footstr . Weirdest injury I ever had. It felt like someone stepped on the back of my foot and I felt a pop but no one was behind me. Swelling but not a lot of pain. Anyone have an Achilles injury here before?

Already figuring out what I can continue to do at the gym if it is a complete tear. Shit like this does help you appreciate little things we do everyday like walking.

Dude I got my right Achilles tendon snapped playing basketball like 10 years ago. Had surgery, 3 months of NOT standing up on it (it might snap again if so). But with physio therapy (30 mins twice a week + electric massages), I recovered functionality 100%. Do NOT try walking until the therapist tell you is safe, you might not walk normally if not taken care of. it is serious even if partial snapped.

I'm sorry this happened, take care and you'll recover 💯

Hugs 🫂

Yea I'm getting MRI this week and seeing if I need surgery. Yea everything I read is about taking it slow in the recovery. If I do need surgery I'll follow that advice and only ramp up when its rehab time. Thanks I appreciate it hoping for the best mentally preparing for the worse. Glad to hear your back to full functioning.
