I came across a posting that intrigued me a bit for personal reasons. Does the Forum have an impressions on this and perhaps a tie in to kiteboarding? It could be a totally unrelated injury of course.
4 weeks ago, I had a freak, but nasty accident. I ruptured my Achilles tendon while engaged in an extreme sport (skipping rope with my 6yr old daughter :thumb: ). Since then I have had surgery and further complications which has delayed my rehab start :evil: . Am wondering if anyone else has suffered Achilles trouble? How long did it keep you off the water? Back foot pressure is obviously critical to going up wind, loading up for jumps etc. Anybody know how healthy you Achilles needs to be before applying such strains?
I am sorry to hear about your injury. I strained the gastroc just above that area in a whopping 4 to 5 mph wipeout skiing last December. Another freak accident. The area is starting almost feel normal after 7 months of healing. Anyone else have problems in this area?
