Yeah, the tension that is in your Achilles is what makes a tear so gruesome. It just snaps and shite just rolls right up in your calf. Incredibly painful.

The surgery is a pretty cool one to watch though. They just go right up in there, pull that bad boy back down, and sew it back together.

You have a dirty mouth for a southern Belle.

And I agree, tendon tears are hard to watch. I saw a guy tear a pec in the gym doing dumbbell bench press and his chest muscle rolled up into a tennis ball. Saw the same thing with a bicep tearing at the elbow joint. I will never forget those images.
