Hi,
I have just had an achilles tendon stretch done on my left leg. This was doen last Friday. I was not given crutches as the surgeon wanted me to be able to puit weight on my leg and to use it to prevent it from getting stiff. I have to go back to the hospital on the 31st of this month, but I am not sure if this is to completely remove the cast that was put on or if I will be getting a replacement cast. I have heard a lot of conflicting information as to what I am supoosed to do, i.e, how much I should be moving around and using the leg and how long I will be in the cast for. I am still in a lot of pain too Sometimes when I put my foot on the ground the foot shakes and I am wondering whether his is normalo not. I know that I have asked a lot of questions so please forgive me
