Thread: Ruptured Achilles

Bump

I was always told to get the Vitamin E gel capsules
poke a hole in them and rub the liquid contents on my scars...

Also there was a paste called, Hmmm...
"Surgeons Friend" or something like that, IDK if they have it in the UK...
it worked pretty well, though I still have scars.

IMO the only way to avoid them, is to have a plastic surgeon stich you up -

Here are some ideas

Good luck! -

Depending on what it looks like after, I may get a plastic surgeon to deal with the scar.

I was given clips or staples, which are thought to be better for healing, fewer scars.

I have gross pics when I had my cast changed yesterday!

NO wonder they gave me morphine at first.

Monkey, Why not just get Vitamin E Oil? are the gel caps supposed to be better/more effective? I think a good VitE Cream should be just as effective.

Tatyana, OUCH! that looks painfull. Hope you recover soon.

how did you do it?

as far as scaring goes, once you get the plater off your leg, are you going to go to physical therapy? They will help break up the scar tissue and give you things like ultra sound and stim.

Bike (motor) crash.

I am going to be getting physio in the hospital I work in.

They are a bit concerned as I was getting physio, and I saw one two days after the crash.

He didn't catch that my achilles was ruptured and told me to start 'walking normally', and I didn't have it repaired as quickly as the surgeon would have liked.

8 weeks in a plaster with it being changed every two weeks to a more walking position.
