Torn Achilles

Tore my Achilles last week at football practice. As soon as the ball was snapped I exploded towards the running back. I felt a big thud at the back of my ankle. I thought someone threw something from the sideline and hit me. It actually felt like someone hit me in the back of the ankle with a bat. I still ran on it for about another half hour. I didnt want to come out because I am compteting for a job here. I eneded going and getting it looked at after practice. They told me it was a bad tear. I went to our Orthopedist yesterday and he said i am already healing very well, and there really is no need for surgery. So hopefully I will be back halfway through the season. I am in a cast and will be for 2 weeks. After that I will start therapy. I am going to hit the gym tonight working just some upper body. I will add in some leg extensions and things like that next week. I was using sus, but since quite because i didnt want to take any test that might interfere with tendon flexibilty. So I decided to go with some Fina EOD till my achilles is done healing. I should be up and running again in 6 weeks. Just wanted to share my story with you guys.
I willl keep you updated on my results. Might keep a log of everything on supplementing, what I am taking, diet, rehab, and stats and how i recover to post here for people to see that might be going through similar injuries.
Later
