Underwent Surgery For Repairing Right Achilles Tendon. Is It Normal To Have Itching After Doing Stretching Exercise?

Hi Dr.
7 weeks ago today i underwent surgery to repair my right Achilles tendon. I ruptured it while playing football. I am out of the cast now and have full range of motion my foot and am able to stand on it and much more. I am using a walking boot and have my foot in a 2 1/2" heel lift. My surgeon and Physical Therapist say i progressing surprisingly well. Anyway, I notice that sometimes my Achilles will start to itch when out of the boot for the while or doing my stretching exercises. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Some times some strange feelings may be common, but it is always better to bring it to the surgeons knowledge, so that he can examine and exclude any untoward thing.
To be on safe side minimise the activity over the right foot.
Take nourishing food like green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
