Scar Tissue POP?
Scar Tissue POP?
So I'm 3 months post surgery on a completely ruptured achilles tendon
repair. Today in physical therapy we got to start some new exercises that
were for more weight bearing motions. My achilles POPPED with lots of pain.
But it did not rupture again, luckily. After a few minutes the pain mostly
went away. The therapist said that it was scar tissue popping and breaking
loose and what not. It did it again later this evening while I was wearing
my beautiful walking boot and moving around. How common is this? How much of
this will I have to endure? I must say, the pain from that is far greater
than the actual rupturing of the achilles was. Thoughts?
