foot bones broken

Thanks ladies! It ***** so bad, and I don't even want to tell my doc cause i'm supposed to be off my feet not running into walls and breaking them lol. Oops!

Then later on he could barely walk on the foot and now it is a little swollen an it is burised on the side, but my main concern is there appears to be a knot or large bump of some kind on the side/bottom of his foot. Do you think his foot is broken?? I am debating between going to the emergency room or waiting till morning and going to the doctor, so any fast help would be nice. Thanks very much!

It sounds like you may have either had a serious sprain or broken some of those tiny bones that are in the foot. You definitely should see your doctor and he will probably order an X-ray. That sounds painful. I twisted mine before by missing a step, and the hospital put on a cast and this relieved the pressure on my foot and made it feel a lot better. Mine was just a sprain.

I went to urgent care got x-rayed and have a broken foot. The Dr. there refused to set the bone even though they were extremely slow that day. Seems the orthopedic drs. In town don't like them setting the bones. They want to set the bones themselves. That's ok but I'm sitting here in extreme pain for 5 days trying to get in to his office to get my bones set. I am planning on giving the dr. An ear full Monday morning, but there should be a law where this is not allowed.

Hi, broken bones take a varying amount of time to heal, mostly depending upon the type of bone broken, the age of the person, and the way in which the bone is broken. Larger broken bones, for example the bones in the thigh, or both bones of leg would take a great deal longer to heal, usually six weeks to three months in the average healthy adult. Begin physical therapy as soon as is practical. That will help.

I had both bones broken too and they only nailed the tibia. I was told the fibula would align itself and heal as is. so far so good.

I have no arch left as my bones have all collasped. I also get 3mthly cortizone shots into my broken bones to relieve the inflamation the best pain relief ever. Are you still getting any treatment??

I broke my tibia and fibula on oct 10th/2010, and had surgery, and plates and screws put in on both bones. It is now january 6th/2011. Im still not walking, or putting any pressure on it, and the doctor said that it is healing very slowly.. when i take off my boot brace, my foot is very crooked when it is flat on the ground. the doctor doesnt seem to know what is wrong. he said that the ex-ray looks straight, and everything looks good. it looks like my foot is just flopping over to the side..

If the fracture is not out of position, a simple cast may be sufficient for treatment. If the fracture is out of position, then surgery may be recommended to realign the broken bones, and stabilize them with screws or pins. The calcaneus is the bone in the back of the foot, commonly referred to as the heel bone. Calcaneus fractures are almost always the result of high-energy injuries. They usually occur as a result of a fall from a height, such as falling from a ladder.

I was in a half cast, basically on the back of my leg and below the foot for a touch over a week, so I was unable to move my ankle and leg and was on crutches. Then 2 days ago I went to the outpatients department and the doc took the cast off me and told me to start walking on it with the aid of crutches as it isn't the weight bearing bone. He said that the bone will heal by itself without the cast and even with me putting a bit of pressure on it.

I had a bad accident july 2012 on a motorcycle, i broke my hip,pinched sciatic nerve,broken ribs,Blood transfusion,TBI, after i was left with all of these broken bones my left foot was left with foot drop lots of pain stayed in bed almost a year learned to walk again from walker to crutches to hoping to now finally being able to walk until now i used about everything you can think of to get rid of the pain.

I just did a little searching and I'm thinking I have Extensor Tenosynovitis on my left foot. Its painful when I walk and I feel the pain on the top of my left foot and it also hurt whenever I lift my front foot up and it also hurts when I go down the stairs. Just a little medical background: I'm 35 years old, male, 5'10, 240 lbs, and I get gout attacks from time to time (1-3 times a year). This pain started a year ago after I had gout attack on my left foot.

I'm pretty sure it isn't broken but then I've never broken a bone before so I have no idea. I was in a shop and one of the clothing rails dropped a short distance (probably from my knee height) onto my foot. It really hurt and throbbed for a while. But it's still hurting almost 2 weeks later and the bruise only just seems to be coming out! Is that normal?

The result was a double compound fracture of my right leg. Both major bones were broken and exposed about an inch about the ankle joint. Fortunately for me, when I arrived at the hospital, one of the best orthopedic surgeons in Las Vegas was on call. Two years, two surgeries (about 8 hours worth), a bone graft and six months in a wheel chair I am walking much better than I could have expected. My question; I generally wear softer soled shoes ( walking tennies, etc.

I damaged my foot by using the treadmill. There were no bones broken, but it took 9 months before I could walk on it properly. I damaged the fibrial posterial tendon. When I hurt my foot badly by falling into a hole in the ground accidently, I applied lots of yogurt and strapped it up and elevated the leg. I was wheeled in to get my foot xrayed at hospital the next day. And walked out fine - miracle!

I believe I could form cast. Will I do more harm than good? Help!! Foot has turned black and still extremely swollen even with ice and elevation. Other side of ankle extremely painful but shows no break on xrays.

My mother had a triple arthrodesis done about thirty years ago and the other day she tripped and hurt her foot. It wasn't damaged, but we were wondering if it is possible to repair her foot if it were to break now because 30 years ago, her doctor told her it was not possible to fix it. Is this still true?

Broke 3 bones, 3rd, 4th, 5th metatarsals. Its been 8 weeks. Finally in a shoe boot & out of the other cumbersome contraption. The doc said i could gradually walk up to 1 mile/ day. First day after taking off the compression stocking, why is the top of my foot all bruised, similar to when just broken? Does that mean I over did it? Called & the nurse said she doesn't know. Getting some sharp electrical like impulses intermittently in that area of my foot too.

Anyway, even though this happened many years ago now, that same toe still looks wider than my other toes. Yes, the bones did heal. I think they told me to put my foot up as much as I could. My ex husband apologized profusely at the time. I think he felt badly. That's not why I divorced him. Anyway, as far as this injury causing lower back pain. You might consider making an appointment to see your family doctor.

i broken my leg now have severe bruising in leg and now in my foot which is badly swollen is this normal after fall

s done but showed no signs of MS. Her lumbar MRI showed broken bones?? She also has weakness in her right side and had a foot drop. She has had a scope of her bladder and also had cat scans, blood work and the test where they fill the bladder. Nobody can come up with a diagnosis for her. She has no urges and her bladder does not contract whatsoever and she has an abnormal sphincter muscle. This is something that happened all of a sudden.
