I just don't understand why he didn't get surgery in August when these issues started.

For me it got progressively worse. But I'm not a world class athlete with unlimited resources. So it seems like they could treat the pain, specialize his shoes with extra heel cushion, and he can play through it.
I was told that going a long period without fixing it does increase the chances of rupturing the achilles because of increased pressure on the tendon. But again, I'm not a world-class athlete. It helps me understand why he's been out this long though. It's extremely painful.
But I think he will play again this year, though. Then maybe surgery.
