haymin 2,465 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'm self employed as well , just finished doing a drive swept the sand inn gave it a whak , cleared everything up , job done , had memorial game of football for a friend , was on the park 10 mins nightmare , as soon as I got my plastic boot on I was back to work next day driving as well 9 weeks for me , think its illegal to drive unless its an automatic , keep a trainer with you in the van if you see the blue light whip off the boot and slip on the trainer lol , I never had to but you never no ?. I Put football boots straight in the bin as well lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
obi2 239 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Haha that's exactly what I did. Hadn't played in 4 year. 1st game was 4 weeks ago and pulled my hamstring. Rested for the 4 weeks and that was me back on Wednesday. 20 minutes in and then I heard the snap while running. Thought someone had kicked my foot away from me from behind. Boots went straight in the bin aswell (outside bin to just to be certain lol) o want sore until last night when I could hardly sleep.for the pain in my heel. Got the choice to have the operation to repair it or let it heal naturally but just decided to let it heal itself. Had just started fittening the dogs up for the season aswell! ???

obi2 239 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 The operation mentioned there would be a scar on my heel and with wearing boots everyday at work and walking the doctors thought it might irritate the scar. If it goes again I'll get the op (hopefully it doesnt) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,754 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Can't see how a tendon can heal if its snapped or detached then not sewn back together ? A complete rupture will often recoil back up into the calf muscle so no way of re-attaching without surgery.....only a partial rupture/tear has a chance of re-attaching without surgery...............never done either myself.

obi2 239 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) I think I was lucky where the rupture was at the top of the ligament. If it was lower there would be less blood flow to heal it better. So I was told anyway.my new sport hobbies will be darts or snooker lol Edited August 22, 2014 by obi2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
