No break. Torn Achilles.
I work as a Physical Therapist- I can tell you that by the time patients come in to see me, pain is really a non-factor. Weakness is the big thing. Follow your doc's and PT's protocol and STICK WITH IT! Hard thing with Achilles repairs is rehab is it's slow with regard to regaining strength, but it can be done. I like to tell my patients- hey, Misty May Traenor (Olympic beach volleyball legend) came back and won a gold medal after her tear. Biggest thing was she probably committed to her rehab like no other. Sure, each case is different (extent of injury, prior fitness, surgeon skill/technique, general health, etc.)
Speedy recovery and oodles of mojo Shark Diver!
