Full rupture = open surgical procedure (for active peeps) normally

means you'll be out for a while :(

But better to just get it done to start rehab/recovery ASAP.

Good luck

and better full rupture than partial imo. Repeat rupture is always a possibility, but at least you can have it repaired, rehab, and resume your training. Rather than constantly waiting and hoping for it not to rupture and thus compromise your training indefinitely.

Just chill like your name is Baret.

I told 'becca about your achilles and she is saddened, then asked what's the matter with her instructors blowing up bodyparts

LOL!
