Achilles tendon raptured issue

2018-04-04 14:13:48
I have a operation for Achilles tendon repair five weeks before. Currently my leg is in a cast. As per the doctor cast will be removed after 6th week. But I am not sure if i will be given a cam walker boot or not . Can you please suggest when I will start walking. I am little scared that if I will start walking without any support(boot) my Achilles tendon may re raptured. Please suggest.

• Sports Taping. • Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

They will have protocol. Usually they give another plaster with less plantar flexion or boot with less plantar flexion
