Been putting it off for couple years, I will have to have the booth for three months or so if and when I have it done. Probably early next year if I can wait that long? My Achilles not torn but irritated by the spur sticking through it I first thought I tore my Achilles, MRI showed no tare. I ice pack it to control the swelling, Aleve to control pain, but beings I only have one semi circular canal, (one ear) the naproxen sodium effects my balance for several hours after. Kind of double edge sword. Dang if I don and dang if I don't?
