I can definately feel some affiliation with DBecks injury having gone through exactly the same myself just a few years ago . Whilst the pain isnt severe , i can best describe it as like being struck by an elastic band it burns a bit , but its certainly not bad . I think his tears were more out of frustration than anything else . The road to recovery is a long one though , he will be in plaster for twelve weeks and the expected full recovery time is 18 months , he will suffer muscle loss in his calves for a start although he will be able to exercise his thigh muscles whilst in plaster .
All in all i cant see how he can come back from this kind of injury at this stage in his career , its far worse than a simple broken leg , bones heal a lot easier and stronger than tendons and there will be a strong chance that it could rupture again , my sympathies are with him
