yo.  This shit is wack.

I have snapped my achilles tendon.  I was playing netball (goal shooter and ON FIRE for a usual defender), and in the last 5 minutes of the final quarter I went to take off in a run for the ball, which is what I'd been doing allllllllll night.  Unusually, I heard a very clear snap, like a branch breaking, and, thinking I'd ( Read more... )

*sneds big hugs and lots of pain medication and chocolate*
Hope everything sets fine and you're back to walking soon!

(i also think fishing around for your tendon is cool - not in a ouchie for you, but in a sort of wow what weird things we have in our body type way)

alll i can say is ouch that must have hurt. yes i have heard a few times that some doc's and nurses are complete retards regarding appropriate times to speak with patients regarding non urgent (ie not disease related) issues.
