Hi
I managed to tear part of my achilles tendon during xmas (not cycling, but DIYing :oops: )and am currently waiting to hear from the orthopaedic outpatients' dept. I don't think it's a major tear... I can walk OK with just a small ache. However, my GP says I shouldn't ride until I've seen a consultant, and I'm a bit worried as this could be months without being on my bike.
Has anyone out there suffered a similar injury? How long before you were allowed to cycle? Did it heal completely? Should I jack it all in and buy a moped? Are there any useful supports for the achilles?
