I have either a partial torn achilles or muscle which I find out tomorrow. Is there any supplements or anything I can take to help or speed up the healing progess. I do take a bunch of supplements and I am a natural. Any help would be great

Some swear by Cissus quadrilangaris.

What will help you heal the fastest, especially with an achilles is to keep active, so out on your crutches (NO WEIGHT ON THE DAMAGED FOOT) and keep the blood flowing as the achilles is not that vascular.

Thanks Tatyana, I just googled it and found a ton of info it. I can't believe I had never heard of it. It seems to have some good reviews so it can't hurt trying it

Hopefully for your sake it's a muscle tear and not the achillies!!!

I tore my achilles a few years ago and unfortunately time is the only thing that will heal it. Don't get too anxious or you will snap it and then you are down for a year (minimum). Work around it and you can still make progress on other body parts.

I tore my achilles half year ago and rehab goes like it should now i just ride my bike,walk a lot but First what U should do when it will be a time for walking is to get good insole for your shoes!
that will take away presure from achilles,knees,back....it's all start with feet.
i have FORMTHOTICS and they are awesome.

the best to eat are chicken legs but with fingers and all the rest,just don't eat nails and bouns ;) they have"glue"and thats do the work.

i hope it will help U,take care and don't give up!....and why this letters are so big now like on wtf :)
