I had Achilles tendon repair surgery six weeks ago and just got my cast removed last week. My ankle feels really stiff so the doctor recommended some ankle motion exercises, but I've noticed swelling in my foot. Is this normal after cast removal? What can I do to help reduce the swelling?

Yes, swelling in your foot after cast removal is a common occurrence, especially after an Achilles tendon repair surgery, and it's normal to experience some stiffness and swelling after a cast is removed. The stiffness is likely due to inactivity during the cast period, and the swelling is from the release of pressure on the tissues. To help reduce the swelling, focus on elevation, ice, and consider compression socks, as well as following your doctor's recommendations for exercises and medication.

I just got my MRI report and it shows a high grade partial thickness tear in my ACL with some retraction and a small bony avulsion near the tibial eminence. There's also mention of a chip fracture in the posterior tibial plateau with bone marrow edema. Can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? I'm really worried about the extent of the damage and what it means for recovery
