A member asked:
I stand on my feet all day at work. i have had achilles lengthening surgery in june but still having pain and tenderness, how long will it last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Achilles surgery: People who have not had surgery often experience pain and tenderness after being on their feet all day. Be sure you are wearing the most comfortable shoes possible with arch support. Low heels but not flats. Preferrably new training shoes with thick cushioning. Might need to return to your surgeon for more information, but healing can continue to at least a year or more for full strengthening.
