That looks like a nice tear.
Have you had physio? (osteopaths are good too)
A full week in and I'm still struggling. Supposed to do a wee walk twice a day, ice twice a day, and 100's of repetitions of ma wee exercises the physio gave me. But I got bored and also nipped out to the garage to fit the new controller for my heated grips. I think the inevitable twisting etc when you do anything other than simple walking has set it off a bit again.
I need to be back at work on Monday, if nothing else I can't face another week of just sitting about.
Looks like my idea of going for a ride on the bike tomorrow, or even Sunday is probably off.
Anyway if you ain't getting any physio, do get some. It makes all the difference. I tore my achilles tendon some 20 years ago. They told me I'd have been far better breaking my ankle and that I'd never walk right again. My mammy fortunately lectured me about getting physio and I did. I can't tell you which ankle I did in, I think it's the right one as I lay down flat on my back my right foot flops right out to the side. Took me over 6mnths to recover but if I hadn't of got that physio I'd have never recovered properly at all.
