It depends on where the rupture happens, at the heel, at the calf, or in between. Generally speaking, it people say it feels like getting shot in the leg. Since I haven't been shot, I don't know for sure, but I can certainly say I can believe that comparison.
Weird. I know someone who ruptured theirs. They dropped like they were hit by a sniper, tried to get up only to fall back down and just sat there looking at their foot. Said just felt like someone stepped on the back of his shoe. No pain.
My pain was immediate and intense, but didn't last long. I knew what it was. I could walk, but obviously couldn't move my foot up and down.
I have heard that feeling the muscle roll all the way up behind your knee is an extremely odd sensation.
It is! Nothing else like it. My doctor explained it as a rubber bad snapping and rolling up. I didn't get any tests other than a Thompson test before my surgery got scheduled. This was in 1998, and surgery methods have evolved a lot, but rehab was way more painful than the injury, and certainly worse than getting hit by an acorn.

Society needs to get behind LE again (realize things like this make that difficult) and pay has to increase to make it more attractive of a career.
The part that I don’t get is how he could have possibly thought the shot came from the car. First, I presume they would have checked the suspect for weapons prior to handcuffing him. Second, HE IS IN HANDCUFFS!
The better headlined post deserves to be the main post even if it isn’t the first.Florida police open fire on unarmed suspect after confusing bouncing acorn for gunshot
Holy shit. Mr Hernandez, who served two tours of Afghanistan as an officer but did not see direct combat, yelled “shots fired” repeatedly while discharging a volley of bullets at the vehicle. When his colleague, Sergeant Beth Roberts, shouted to check if he was safe, Mr Hernandez groaned as he...iowa.forums.rivals.com
He wasn't thinking; he was reacting.
I mean, there is an actual cop in this thread saying the quality of police officer candidates is concerning and the public should be afraid.
Nothing of this incident makes sense. I will say the stress that you come under when you think you are in danger makes you do some crazy things that make no sense.
That would require *looks around carefully and leans in* ...raising taxes
Or establishing better priorities on how tax money is spent.
