How long does it take your Achilles tendon to heal?
It all depends on if it is just inflammation versus partial or complete rupture of the tendon. If you are able to rest or immobilize with a cast or cast boot, it may relieve the tension on the tendon. If it is ruptured, whether partial or complete, may require a cast or surgery. Tendons in general heal very slowly. Give yourself at least 3 months for recovery. READ MORE
