I went to Dr. Wu. Johnny Wu, a foot doctor for my torn Achilles tendon. He told me that if I wore the black boot for 12 weeks, (twice as long as usual) even at night, and only removed it to shower carefully, not placing it down, then my tendon would heal without surgery. And he was right. I tore it somehow, when packing and moving about ten years ago. Dr. Wu is NOT an orthopedic doctor, but it worked. His office is near The Villages Hospital and can be reached with a golf cart. The only negative is that he is a Michigan graduate. And I am from O-HI-O!!!!!
