Has anyone had experience with tendon injurys?

Question

My friends horse bucked the other day while in training, and then when he was getting cooled off we felt his stride change so i got off and looked at him and his ankle was swolen and there was heat in it. I put a furison sweat wrap on it. Then I CALLED A VET and she prescribed the same thing furison wrap at night and cold water in the morning. It has been 72hrs and the swelling has not gone down. Do you have any other options for treatment?

Answer 1

I lacerated my big toe (extensor type) tendon. I had it surgically repaired
two weeks ago. Seems to be healing nicely. Pain for about a week. Now feels pretty good. Am wearing tennis shoes with little pain. Not much extension yet, but it gets better each day.
I expect another 2 weeks and I will be good as new (almost);.
