My surgeon has been very upfront with me about rehab following an Achilles tendon rupture repair. She says there are studies to support putting weight on the foot after surgery. There are also studies that say it's not a good idea to put weight on the foot right away after surgery. What do you recommend? 2 weeks 2 days ago 17
I admit that I am just trolling for information comparing the surgery I had for a ruptured Achilles tendon with what's done elsewhere. I hear the Japanese, Swedish, and European surgeons are way ahead when it comes to trying new things. What are they doing differently that we aren't doing in the United States? 4 weeks 6 days ago 20
I went to the doctor today for my follow-up check-up after having surgery three months ago for a torn Achilles tendon. I am still afraid to try and rise up on my toes to check the strength of the repair. How can I get over this fear? 4 weeks 6 days ago 57
I'm starting to develop a bunion on my left foot. The right foot still looks fine. Is there any way to keep this from getting worse? Can I do anything to prevent my right foot from getting a bunion? 8 weeks 22 hours ago 56
I'm 22-years-old and I like wearing fashionable shoes. Most of them have pointy toes. My mother (and grandmother) have bunions. They both tell me the shoes have got to go if I don't want to end up like them. Is this just an old wive's tale? 8 weeks 22 hours ago 44
