I had surgery nearly 4weeks ago for complete rupture of Achilles tendon and have to have daily injections of clexane 64 of them to be exact ,but since surgery I am so light headed and dizzy all of the time, could it be clexane that is causing this, anyone else had this happen
Dizziness is listed as common side effect. I take ur iron levels r ok. It seems a lotta clexane. Take u r not very mobile MJ
I'm non weight bearing for 6weeks ,talked to consultant today he recons it defiantly not clexane so I'm going to book a appointment with my doc to check iron and blood pressure ,than you for reply
Dunno how he can b so sure of that as it is listed on common side effects ! But yes def see gp re other investigations. I wish u well and hope u get answer as to why. U will need plenty of sitting hobbies for 6 weeks . MJ
I've had this injury for 18 months so I've taken to reading lol ,what exciting life I lead lol
Oh dear that's quite a while....u have got through quite a few books lol. I'm planning in my head how what I'm going to do to pass time as apparently u shouldn't lift anything heavier than a kettle for couple months. Only thing it's coming into summer ! U will b well rested for getting back to whatever . Hope u make quick and full recovery x
Thanks maryjo x
Hi, I've suffered with a achilles tendonitis for over a year, despite physio etc. I'm a bit worried that after on long it will rupture, what caused yours to rupture of you don't mind me asking?

Hi Vicki,its hard to believe but I tripped up while walking along ,nothing dramatic lol just tripped
Was it troubling you before? X
No I've never had any trouble like that before ,I've got two dogs who I walked twice a day ,love long country walks ,was very fit as far as I no ,it scares me to think I won't get back to that place again if I'm honest, my goal now is just to get back on two legs it'd just such a long process ,and I hate this bloody pointy toe cast I got at the moment lol I'm having a bad day today x
