Re: Achillies tendon

Hi Liz,
I hope your husband in healing well. My boyfriend tore his achillies tendon a year ago. He is afraid to have surgery as he once had neck surgery and had severe memeory loss for 6 months after. He has been in severe pain throughout the year even though he has tried every type of splinter and boot available. I am thinking he may have to get surgery done. Can you tell me, what your husband has gone through with the surgery Please? Did they put him under completely or just do a spinal block? What were the associated costs? Thanks so much, Liz and God Bless you and your husband.
Cheryl
