I'm very sorry. What you are going through sounds awful. Best of luck. Hi Deena,

I don't have to use a brace running these days but it still gets a bit stiff and sore now and then. Plus it's always a little swollen and some activities can make it more so. It handles what I put it through without too many complaints though. The surgery improved its condition considerably. With that said, my ankle definitely didn't heal nearly as quickly as the doctor indicated it would. It was a slow process. If you are a year out you are probably still feeling it. I would guess you will see quite a bit of improvement over the next year or two. Good luck! I hope on your 2 year mark you can run a half marathon like I did. :) Hi Molly,

I also had an achilles repair and a gastrocnemius recession at the same time. I am a mess! my PB and PL were split and entwined. The Doc repaired them and then put them in an absorbable sheath. Now, after 3 1/2 months I can hardly walk. The pain is terrible, like my ankle is in a bear trap all the time. I was non-weight bearing for 9 weeks then into a walking boot. I just started PT after 3 months. Have only had my first session so we'll see how this goes. When I move my foot in a certain direction it feels like my tendons rip over my ankle bone and it sends an amazingly painful shot through my leg and there is a very sore place all the time right at the bone. I am thinking there is subluxation of my tendons now but the Doc says no. I am now going to see another Doc for a second opinion. This has been my 3rd achilles tendon surgery to date and the thought of another surgery to fix the PL and PB and being immoble and non-weight bearing again is almost too much to bear. Anyone else have multiple surgeries to get this right? I had my PB and PL in my right ankle repaired at the end of January.

How does your ankle hold up now a few years after surgey during these runs? Do you use a brace when you run? My surgery was about a year ago and it's getter better,but a long, slow process... Thanks, M Hi there–
