Was very active until full achilles tear few months ago. exercise is now limited and i have started dealing with pebble poops on and off every other week. drink plenty of water, i eat well balanced diet. is this exercise related?

It can be. It is known that regular exercise is one piece of advice given to patients who complain of constipation. While you're limited in physical activity, you could try taking a daily gentle bowel supplement like SenokotS which contains a stool softener. Also be sure to ingest good fiber intake daily.
