Well guys as luck would have it the nasty just happened to me. I'm on the brink of the college level (if accepted) and getting the paperwork together for my application. In working my off-season program I have decided to add jumping rope into my cardiovascular routine. Low and behold in my 4th 30-second set...POP...there goes the achillies! (sp?)
I don't have conclusive results but just returned from MRI with films and it doesn't look good. I see white, then a space, then some more white. It looks like that baby is torn in 2 to me. Looks like surgery in the coming days. I find out tomorrow when I meet with a surgeon.
Have any of you had this type of injury? If so, how long did the rehab take and how long between the injury was it before you were able to take the field again?
I'm in pretty good shape and lift all the time including running. This took me by total surprise and it's really untimely especially if I get a call for a spring camp/scrimmage.
