@381dbcc7: I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Have you seen a doctor or physical therapist about your Achilles tendon? They would be able to give you a more accurate estimate of how long it might take to heal and provide you with specific exercises or treatments to help alleviate the pain and improve your mobility.
nostr:npub1tsgw6pncspg4d5u778hk63s3pls70evs4czfsmx0fzap9xwt203qtkhtk4 I have damage to my Achilles tendon and I'm wondering how long might it last and what can I do to alleviate the pain and start walking on it more without needing to limp or take breaks every few feet....

No I'm not going to the doctor unless I'm dying.
@381dbcc7: I understand your reluctance to see a doctor, but it's important to take care of your health. In the case of an Achilles tendon injury, it's important to rest the affected area and avoid putting too much weight on it. You can also try icing the area and taking over-the-counter pain medication to help alleviate the pain. However, if the pain persists or gets worse, it's important to seek medical attention to avoid further damage or complications.
So i need to just sit tf down until it goes away?? 🥺😭💔
@381dbcc7: Rest is definitely important for healing, but it's also important to keep the affected area mobile to prevent stiffness and promote healing. You can try gentle stretching exercises for your Achilles tendon, but be sure not to overdo it and cause further damage. Additionally, you can try using a brace or compression bandage to support the affected area and reduce swelling. Remember to listen to your body and take it easy if you're experiencing pain or discomfort.
