No options given, just put it in a hard cast for two weeks, toe pointed down. Then an air cast.
I've been told 6 months recovery time but I'm not holding my breath, as I've heard some absolute horror stories. However, I'm not really sure what to expect.
I tore my rotator cuff a few years back, and it was balls to the wall therapy, pushing that sucker like crazy. I was told that the harder I pushed myself in rehab, the better the results would be. I have no idea if that's the case with my Achilles. I watched people at physio complain if things got the least but sore, and have to stop. I was icing almost constantly because I would push so hard my shoulder would swell up and just exude hate. But after a few months of that I had full range and was saying my goodbyes, and the guy who'd came in the same time as me and complained about everything hurting, was still at about the halfway point and hating life.
Anyone have any ideas?

Okay, #1...not a Doctor. Nor do I play one on TV.
However I have had 2 rotator cuff tears as a recent bout of Bowling has reminded me.
IMO (<-again...not a Doctor)
With the rotator cuff you're using it to try and smooth out any cartilage buildup...its a ball-and-socket kind of deal...the Achilles is nothing similar, I think you need to Baby it.
