Hi Guys
While playing Cricket i ruptured my right foot achilles tendon,i had x-ray and ultra sound,doc advised me its not into two pieces but broken more than 50%. They gave me two options Surgery or Plaster.I opted for plaster.
So what you guys think how much time will it take to heel and would i be able to play Cricket in next 2 months?
Cheers.
i wouldn't even attempt to play any sport so soon after tearing your achilles, you say say you opted for conservative treatment, i would advise you to give it a while longer, and seek the advice of a quality physio therapist, end of the day you only have one pair of legs and feet, take care

You are right!! This season is off for me now, but i am much better can walk and everything but when walk allot or do and hard work it get swollen and think its normal. Still there is a limp when i walk and consultant advice it will go with time as leg was in the cast!!
I had a friend this happened to - went while she was playing badminton. She followed instructions to the letter, plaster, six weeks on the couch, then prolonged physio. She's ok now but is careful. I think you need to curb your desire to get back on your feet and let your body heal properly, it's a horrible injury. Totally sympathise with your wish to get on with your life though.
