Hi, I can suggest a few things. Wear a good ankle and lower leg brace that will keep the Achilles tendon immobilised, and prevent a limp. Also do lower leg calf muscle strengthening exercises every day. It may take 5-6 years to show improvement, but be patient. When at home use an ankle strap (you will get these in a good sports shop). These are the only things that will help but will take time. But do stay in touch with your orthopedician. Newer treatments and minor surgical methods are always being discovered. Regards
