Why and with whom if not for you? 


I was walking from our laundry room, heard a loud pop, then went down; still waiting for an ultrasound but there is a 99% chance I have a ruptured Achilles.

Why didn't you answer my previous Q in your previous AMA? It was VERY important!

What is your current pain level? 

 

No pain, but I have neuropathy so that’s probably why.

Hope that is something that heals quickly if that is what it is! Was it the surprise that made you fall or the pain was that bad?


No, I fell because my weight was on that foot when I heard the pop, so it basically just gave out on me.

Is there a big wait or are you already in a room?


In a room and just saw the orthopedists; waiting on an X-ray now. They aren’t sure if it is my Achilles or another anterior ligament but they think it’s just a partial tear.

Did it hurt? Did the fall hurt more?

 

Nope, no pain at all. Just shock at the noise and sudden loss of stability.

Did you have any other symptoms leading up to it?


No, but I have spina bifida and these are commonly associated injuries.

Ughhh this is one of those injuries that creeps me out. Wishing you the best!

I just worked for an old guy the other day that told me how his achilles tendon snapped walking down his hallway at home.  It was like a year long recovery for him. He was like 75 years old though.

Jesus.

 

did you black out from the pain? I have a friend who snapped some ligament and blacked out from sheer pain. Hopefully I never find out firsthand


Nope, absolutely no pain at all.

Were you trying to suck your own dick in the laundry room? Did you do warmup stretches first? 

 

No

Bloody hell man, I'm glad it was painless, and hopefully the recovery will be smooth too.  That sounds awful. :/ 

 

Do you know what caused it? I mean, did you do a lot of sports in your youth, or did you previously injure it, or is this "just one of those things" that happens when you're above 30? :s

Played plenty of sports when I was younger…No major injuries in this ankle so it’s probably combination of the spina bifida and bad luck.

Will you buy Bacon a game since he has this talent of making peoples bad things turn into free games for himself? 


That’s actually really funny when you put it that way but given I have a $2,000 deductible and now get to wait on an ER bill, no.
