This is the 9th video of my series to track my recovery from Achilles Tendon Rupture. I ruptured my Achilles tendon while playing soccer in mid Jan 2023.
This video includes my progress in the month 4 after my surgery, including my walking pose, my walking trends, calf/tendon size and strength, exercises and future plans.
Hey it's Yulong. I am making a series of videos to document things I learned from my Achilles Tendon rupture that I didn't see anywhere else mentioned. I got a lot of useful information and mental support from videos of other rupture patients so I wanna do the same, hoping my videos could help others too.
Feel free to drop comments if you have any questions!
