@matthewlittleNC @fatbot I have a torn Achilles right now, a year after injury I'm finally seeing a surgeon. Why? The original orthopedist said diet and exercise will cure the pain as it's just from being fat. For 6 months I was walking daily on a torn Achilles before she sent me for an MRI. When the MRI showed the tear, she finally gave me an orthopedic boot and sent me to an ankle specialist.

Working with the ankle specialist, the first thing he said was "I see your record. This is an overuse injury, not an injury from being fat." For 6 months I was making it worse!

This is the care I get for being fat. No amount of exercise is going to fix a torn Achilles!
