Lately I've been feeling sharp pains where it was repaired. This is noticable especially when I have been sitting for long periods of time. Not very often, I can feel it when I am standing, too. Walking doesn't seem to be a problem, but running or jogging is not an option. Could these be signs that something might make it rupture again? I am 50 years old. I don't think I could handle this twice. What can I do to prevent it from happening again?

for starters, you could contact your doctor and consider/discuss an MRI for detailed evaluation of the tendon. In this time you can try to wear elastic heel supports or ace wraps to buy yourself sometime. Leg elevation, ice/warm packs may be helpful too. Consider an orthopedic evaluation if you don't get answers from a primary care doctor, good luck
