Dont know if this belongs here or health forum.Just wondering on opinions on this really.
Injured myself 3 months ago, followed every bit of advice from hospital, done everything they said for the healing procces.
Completed every visit or check up.
Attended my second physio session were they done their checks and were happy how it was healing.
They then started my physio session during which on doing one of the excersises the told me the injury reoccurred.
Had a follow up scan that confirmend the injury reoccurred on the scar tissue of the previous injury.
Would i be right to be upset by that, or am I being unreasonable?

Bodies aren't perfect, some heal quicker and/or better than others.

Just one of those things.

Who are you wanting to be upset with?

Physiotherapy is not part of the repair process - it is to aid rehabilitation and sadly, you can do more damage to the injury but the benefits outweigh the risks from my experience.

I was in intensive physiotherapy for three months much earlier this year when I fell during a working session, breaking my leg. Whether or not the Physio was negligent is a moot point as these things happen, and I’m not about to start having a go with hard-working people dedicated to putting me right in the first place.

These things happen…

Like others have said, it's most likely that it is just bad luck. The physio being incompetent is possible but unlikely and also hard to prove.

Fair enough, Sister is training to be nurse so know what they have to deal with so wasnt really about having a go at people.
Just a bit pissed that walked in on my own 2 feet, and came out on crutches and a Vaco boot again.
Ah well

Unfortunately Achilles (and other tendon) healing is slow at the best of times and they sometimes rerupture. frown Have they discussed surgical repair?

Yes i know it takes a long time to heal,It was more that it reruptured while doing the pyhsio that peed me of, only been back work a few weeks. According to specialist less than 3% go again.
I must be lucky frownAh well, crack on.
Vacoped for now, then MRI in a couple of weeks, so will know more then.
Thanks all

"Just a bit pissed....?" Is this in America?

Or did you mean to say "pissed-off"? In the UK, being "pissed" means drunk via alcohol.

Anyone with an IQ in at least double digits can tell what the sentence means.
