Hoops

Ruptured Achilles Tendons

I have no doubt i could come back and play....ive come back from a broken leg, broken ankle, broken hand and Reiters Syndrome.....but the added pressure of a wife, and starting a family may be swaying the need to call it quits....lol

But anyway thanks to everyone who has placed a post here.....much appreciated guys

PS Fez....unlike my post name, I no longer feel sore!!! That was after playing numerous games in a row where anyone would have felt sore. I came back from a serious knee injury...have faith in yourself

Fez...The fact that you are interested and finding out as much as you can about your injury shows that you are determined to be fit. Have your goals, you may surprise yourself like I did. Although it may be difficult at the moment stay positive!!!!

Well said Panther......Northerner....that was a great post......im grateful for it

And i would love to see those Dr's, but im a Victorian boy (lol....Hate me if u must)

Thanks guys.....all of you who have posted something here......its much appreciated

All i wanna do is walk properly again....lol...for me i think playing ball is over

lol.....just seen it......3 Months

Man....lol.......ive had it on for 2 days and its shitting me already

No way could i handle 3 months of it

Thanks guys.......im hoping the surgeon goes for the operation rather than the old method of plaster

How long before you were our of plaster Been There?

I know someone who recently had an achilles repair. It is very restricting for 12 months but with persistence and regular physio you can maximise your rehabilitation. I was 28 when I snapped my ACL and when I had a reconstruction most people said that I would never get back to playing (people like to tell you all the horror stories when you have an injury and even more horror stories about the impending surgery-don't listen to it). I'm just an average person who worked hard and is passionate about playing. Be sensible and careful and listen to your surgeon and physio (do the exercises!). If your passionate about playing don't give up; work hard, maximise your chances of hitting the court and it will be worth it.

Yeah, im in a plaster cast upto my knee to keep it mobilised

Only did it monday, Friday is the soonest i can get a appointment

Have you had a Achilles injury before DoitForaLiving?

Yeah same.......the doc at the hospital (who isnt qualified in that field) told me id be back playing in 3-6 months

I find it hard to believe

I think at 32 years of age my bball playing days are over....lol

And that would be great if all games were played in Adelaide. They are not.
