Achilles tendon rupture post op week 3

Bones, joints and muscles

Hey everyone I just got my cast off and staples out today. Today marks week 3 post op. I have a boot now and was told I can be Full weight bearing and easy myself off the crutches. I have 3 wedges and after 17 days start to take one out every week.

Also I was told to only have boot on for walking. If I'm sitting it must be off.

Question:

I'm relaxing now and I want to ice it. I took boot off do you ice behind the knee or can you put an ice pack directly behind the achilles?

I put ice directly on the achilles

7/27 will be 1 year since surgery. Be sure to do therapy even when at home, strengthening exercises, stretching exercises and ice.
