Oh boy, I had surgery in 2007 for my left Achilles, I had a bone spur removed and the Dr removed some of the tendon..
Speed forward to this week, I couldn't take the pain any more in my left achilles and went to see the Dr that did the Achilles surgery on my right ankle in 2011. I Gave him the history of the surgery of 2007 by the ortho that did the 2007 surgery.
He told me he tries to not to remove soft tissue, and thats what the other Dr did 2007.
THATS CODE FOR THE OTHER DR SCREWED UP AND I PAY THE PRICE...
Xray reveal the done spur is back and it back with a vengeance and seems worse than before in 2007 and so I am back in a walking boot for a while to hope this calms down..
I JUST CANNOT DO ANOTHER SURGERY.
Balance is off already and now add in the walking boot.... I"m really good at doing the the Frankenstein walk.. only with out my arms without stretched out like Frankenstein, now its a so very slow and steady gait , thunk - thunk , thats the sound of my walking so I don't fall AGAIN..
IT gives me a good excuse to sit and watch all the NFL I can. GO BEARS...
take care.
