Surgery for Achilles tendon tear

I recently injured my left ankle and was found to have a partial tear in my Achilles tendon. The surgeon recommends surgery to repair the tendon. What do you suggest?

The Achilles tendon is very strong but sometimes in athletes or after a traumatic injury it can rupture. This tendon is easy to repair surgically, but the results are not great. Orthopedic surgeons always rush patients with partial Achilles tendon tear to surgery, but now evidence indicates that non-surgical methods may be as effective as surgery. In addition, non-surgical method are cheaper and generally free of complications. Unless it is life threatening or you are a professional athlete, I do not recommend any procedure by orthopedic surgeons. Most have poor surgical skills and are notorious for performing unnecessary surgical procedures. The surgery for Achilles tendon repair will easily costs you several thousand dollars. The non-surgical method will cost you less than $100 but it may take a little longer for the healing process. The choice then is simple- surgery which is expensive with f..kups or no surgery and you go on holiday instead of the surgeon!!!!
