Will I be able to run after a ruptured Achilles Tendon?

If you have trouble with your Achilles tendon and a doctor told you that you might actually rupture it and tear completely if you continue to run, you should probably be worried. If you are anxious about your Achilles, stay with me. I have some good news and some bad news. A recovering runner in the Runners Aid Station asked me... “If I rupture my Achilles tendon, if I just ignore the tendinosis, if I just block out the pain, continue to run, continue to train, and then it does rupture, would I be able to run after it heals?” Great question... Will I be able to run after a ruptured Achilles tendon?  Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
