I have been struggling to use my crutches, very unstalbe on them, i am going without out the painkillers today, just advil.I am afraid the 2 times i have jammed my foot may have comprimised the surgery repair, it is not bleeding but i am afraid i may have caused damage. anyone else experience this?</p>sore south pawsore south paw54questionSun, 02 Aug 2009 17:02:56 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/achilles_tendon_surgery_149033314492865/?src=rss:qb:qbihttp://yedda.com/questions/achilles_tendon_surgery_149033314492865/Oh_man_painful_afraid_asking_wrong_862937144173671?src=rss:qb:qbi<p>Oh man, that must be painful.</p> <p>I'm afraid you are asking at the wrong plade man.

Post-operational problems are quite common, but they must be taken seriously. No problem at all I think, due to the fact that all those aches are usual while dealing with surgeries like the one you have been through.</p> <p>sites like http://www.surgery.com and even wikipedia may grant you information, but only an expert will tell you what to do. Unfortunately I'm not an expert at all, but I believe that this is not much of a concern.</p> <p>Good luck dude</p>allanzexallanzexmale21answer4.0Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:52:59 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/achilles_tendon_surgery_149033314492865/Talk_doctor_right_away_Post_735076187234208?src=rss:qb:qbihttp://yedda.com/questions/achilles_tendon_surgery_149033314492865/wheelchair_instead_crutches_help_627111392373930?src=rss:qb:qbi<p>Using a wheelchair instead of crutches to get around will help prevent further injury to your achilles tendon. A used one can be had for a fraction of the cost of a new one.  I don't think a soft dressing with a splint can give you the support that you need to prevent further injury when you are standing up.  Go to a medical supply store and get a fixed-ankle support boot.  Your health insurance may even cover this.  http://www.best4health.net</p>IamjustcuriousIamjustcuriousmale41answer3.0Sun, 23 Aug 2009 23:08:40 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/achilles_tendon_surgery_149033314492865/wheelchair_instead_crutches_help_627111392373930?src=rss:qb:qbi
