Ruptured Achilles Tendon
Has anyone ever ruptured their achilles tendon? Is there any exercise you can do whilst in plaster? How soon before you were running again?

Bad luck Sharon. My son ruptured his achilles skiing a couple of years ago. The good news is that you WILL run again (he's doing London marathon this year) - but you need to stay really positive and be patient. It took 6 months before he was back to running properly again.
There are different views on when to start weight bearing and doing exercises. I guess you have to be guided by your doctor - and there's loads of info if you google.
I wish you a speedy recovery!
thanks for that, I plan to use bike and gym first but if I can look forward to running again after just six months, I feel better already.
Thanks again
