This is the 7th video of my series to track my recovery from Achilles Tendon Rupture. I ruptured my Achilles tendon while playing soccer around mid Jan 2023.
This video talks about things I learned during the 11-12 week after surgery of Achilles Tendon rupture, including wearing regular shoes, learn how to walk again, exercises, pool workout.
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!
