How can I regain full use of my leg? I broke my tendon while playing raquetball, had a cast like 3 months after surgery and it still hurts and feels stiff after 8 months.

I am familiar with the tendon as a student physical therapist. If you tore it and it still bothers you, Something probably didn't heal right. Go back to the doctor or a PT.

Achilles ruptures are tough! And only casting it will give you ongoing problems and increase your risk of re-rupturing it! Surgical intervention is necessary for an achilles repair. See a Podiatrist that specializes in foot and ankle surgery ( one that is familiar with these repairs ). It will be well worth it. Good Luck.
