Purpose. To report the middle term outcome in male and female patients who underwent surgery for chronic recalcitrant Achilles tendinopathy. Methods. We tried to match each of the 58 female patients with a diagnosis of tendinopathy of the main body of the Achilles tendon with a male patient with tendinopathy of the main body of the Achilles tendon who was within two years of age at the time of operation. A match accordingly was possible for 41 female subjects. Results. Female patients were shorter and lighter than male patients. They had similar BMI, lower calf circumference, similar side-to-side calf circumference differences, and greater subcutaneous body fat than men. Of the 41 sedentary patients, only 25 reported an excellent or good result. Of these, three had undergone a further exploration of the Achilles tendon. The remaining patients could not return to their normal levels of activity despite prolonged supervised post-operative physiotherapy, with cryotherapy, massage, ultrasound, pulsed magnetic, and laser therapy. Conclusion. Females experience more prolonged recovery, more complications, and a greater risk of further surgery than males with recalcitrant Achilles tendinopathy.

As a age Triathlon competitor I have had Achilles tendon injuries in the past and they take a lot of rest and exercises to heal using conventional therapy. This process took 4 to 5 months before I could resume full training.
However after I discovered how to heal my self using Energy Healing I had another Achilles injury a little worse than the first incident.
Using the information learned from energy healing I quickly removed the original disturbances and restored all my Aura and Chakra Energy Fields and a few others like my Core Star and Hara line. With in 3 days I was walking 300 yards and running slowly 100 yards and then restoring all my Energy Fields.
With in 7 days I continued this 3 to 1 walking and jogging gradually increasing the distance until I was able to jog continuously with no walking or pain and then gradually increased the running speed and distance. I was completely recovered in less than 3 weeks with no other treatment and able to return to normal training. This is the power of removing the original cause and restoring Life Energy Fields
