A guy I train martial arts with popped BOTH of his, clean off. ON two separate occasions. Seems he must have had a genetic tweak that made it weak or something, because what are the odds?!
I was there for one of them - he was sparring, he stepped backward one step, not a big deal, not a big step, not even a deep stretch position, and there was a sound like a balloon popping, and he went down.
He's had surgery to reconnect, took about 5 months before he was back and training again, which I think is really fast.
He was able to go from complete severed achilles tendon to a fully healed fully functional state, progressing from surgery to cast to walking cast to nothing by following the orthopedist orders, but being really aggressive with his stretches and exercises.
I think they see this stuff all the time, so either get a second opinion or follow this guys instructions to the letter.
