Had follow-up appointment for Achilles Tendon MRI with orthopedic - TopicsExpress



          

Had follow-up appointment for Achilles Tendon MRI with orthopedic surgeon today. Ive got chronic tendonosis - cause unknown, but most likely related to history of football, floor hockey, etc. He showed me the MRI - impressive accumulation of fluid and inflammation. Surgery is not recommended, improvement rate not that great, chances are about 30% I would need 2nd and probably 3rd surgeries. So will follow and treat conservatively - air boot every other day, alternating with regular shoes (and my favourite cowboy boots are OK!) physiotherapy, massage therapy, etc. To anyone who has, or has a family member/friend with something much more serious, e.g. cancer, I KNOW your pain and need is much greater, hang in there !!!
