@bhb30602 Barrett, another point I forgot to mention is if you are wearing an air cast boot, wear another hiking boot or something so you can have your legs at the same height. If you don’t, it causes extra stress on your other ankle, and that is how my husband partially tore his Achilles tendon. He started with a stress fracture in one foot, and that boot caused the tendon tear in the other.

Thanks for the info Jennifer. I'm sorry you had to go through so much pain but your journey gives me hope that I can return to normal activity and exercise at some point.
I'm off the boots (mercifully) but they did a real number on my knees. The tendons in R ankle hardly give me any pain but I'm wearing an ankle brace at the moment. My R knee is a different story - so much pain. My Dr tells me the tendons in ankle, heel, calf are the culprit so I'll ask about returning to PT so I can work that out.
