torn achilles tendon
My doctor has treated me for achilles tendonitis for over a year. A recent MRI showed her my tendon is torn and she says the only treatment for it is surgery. Is this correct. I live in the Columbus OH area. Is there someone you would recommend for a second opinion?

The Silipos® Soft Sock™ is a two-layer sock carefully designed with a proprietary gel pad molded in between the two fabric layers at the sole to absorb and reduce friction, abrasion, shear forces, and moisture away from the foot. It is recommended for the diabetic, rheumatoid or insensitive foot.
