yesterday morning playing pickle ball for the 1st time I thought someone
hit the back of my leg with a bat. was shocked when I looked up and
no one was there. Felt numb at first but no pain at all. Went to ER Clinic
and said i need to see a orthopedic surgeon. I most likely have a total rupture but not 100% sure until MRI etc. with the Orthopedic dr.
It happened on a Sat so we are hoping to get an appointment Monday am. Currently visiting Dunedin FL and now live in Cumming GA. If dr. here say I need surgery will most likely go home and have it done at Emory in cumming.
I keep reading that a number of recent studies say non surgical with the
proper PT is just as good as surgery but I get the impression that the doctors
in the US prefer surgery.
anyone have any experiences with ruptured achilles? Any thoughts, experiences what you did or words of wisdom would be great.
