Ok, I'm a 43-year-old fairly active female, ruptured my (right) Achilles' tendon. Orthopedic specialist recommended casting only for 6-8 weeks, no surgery. Possibly due to me having no insurance and limited income. Anyone else ever gone through just casting without surgery? And with what results? Personally, I don't like the specialist, he definitely isn't interested in answering questions, but I'm fortunate that he *will* see me under a "payment plan", so I should consider myself lucky! However, there are a lot of questions - any ideas where one can go to get answers? (how is this going to affect future activity, will it occur again since no surgery was done, etc.) Any input would be greatly appreciated!
