Achilles: Severed

**CLiQx** · 09-16-2013, 02:12 AM

G'day everyone,
I've read a few threads regarding Achilles injuries on this site and have found the community here to be quite knowledgeable and honest regarding a wide range of topics and was hoping I could get some helpful insight regarding my situation. I was in an accident which severed my Achilles requiring surgery and while I'm eating properly and allowing myself time to heal I worry at times (largely because of stories ppl tell me about ppl they know walking with a limp for the rest of their lives and what not). Anyway, I'm 22 and pride myself on being healthy and able-bodied... I've never used aas in the past, but the notion of developing a limp is worrisome to me and is something I would be open to if it would aid me in making a full recovery. Essentially, I'd appreciate your suggestions... whether it be rehabilitation exercises, useful supplements or direction regarding aas(if applicable).

Thanks in advance,
CLiQx

Damn. That's got to hurt! I wish you a speedy and complete recovery. Can't advise you on this one I'm afraid.

Of go for 5grams msm crystals/powder and or tb400. IF u were over 25 I'd add other things but ur two young. But u will heal quicker but scar internally more for that reason. Deep tissue massaging maaaaaaaaayyyy help slightly to break down the scar tissue into stronger cells but I'd take it really easy on it for a while.

^^^ you mean TB500.

Firstly I appreciate all the replies & support... And I did a little research on msm & tb500. I'm assuming tb500 and msm while allowing my body to heal quicker will cause more internal scarring due to the hastened rate of repair? Also, would this mean that i would be more prone to recurring injuries due to (increases) internal scarring vs healing without the aid of msm & tb500?I'm certainly going to be practicing range of motion exercises when my cast is off as well as massage.

-On a separate note, if I do use tb500 and or msm ill keep a log, and post updates

I've been researching tb500 and while I'm supplementing msm I believe I'm going to wait until I begin rehabilitation to begin tb500. My most pressing questions I'd like to ask are... for what reason will i scar more internally due to tb500 use? Does tb500 hasten the rate of repair too quickly? and lastly will this make me more prone to recurring injury to my Achilles?
