Avatar n tn The only way to find out if there is a stress fracture anywhere in the foot, in the metatarsals or any of the cuneiform or cuboid bones is to have an xray. You are doing the right thing in applying cold compresses to the foot. Also rest the foot as much as you can and elevate it.
Avatar n tn Hello, I have been reading the various emails submitted by folks with cuboid stess fracture and I certainly do appreciate the sharing of stories. I have been in pain of the left foot for about a month now, but do not remember when I "hurt" it. I finally went to the foot doctor today (7/8/09) and the doctor took Xrays and found nothing. But, he did locate the "pain" and said it may be a cuboid stress fracture.
Avatar f tn For anyone who has personally experienced a navicular stress fracture, what did it feel like?
Avatar f tn An MRI showed that I incurred a stress fracture in my ankle as a result of severe osteopenia, almost 4 months ago. Treatment consisted of a period of rest for 2 weeks, then wearing a boot for a month. I was then put on complete rest of the injured foot-no weight-bearing at all for over 2 months, as x-rays showed it was healing quite slowly.
Avatar m tn After seeing a podiatrist and having a bone scan it was determined that I had a stress fracture in my cuboid bone. During that time I was in the Army and had already been diagnosed with plantar fascistis, heel spur, bone spur in my ankle, and possible osteoarthritis in my midfoot. The doctor said that I could just wear a boot for 3 weeks and then it would be fine. I got out of the Army a few weeks later and when I returned to the States I saw a podiatrist at the VA as I was still in pain.
Avatar f tn Ugh the boot, i didn't have a stress fracture but i tore 70% of the tendon in the back of my ankle. I waited to go to the doc until i could barely walk so they put me in a boot for 8 weeks. It sucked and i still have problems. So deff go to the doc, the boot will help take pressure off of it.
Avatar m tn What I wanted to know is if this is normal for this type of injury and whether there are any exercises or rehab I can do to get my foot stronger quicker, so I can get back to playing faster? All opinons appreciated!
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm 24, a former ballet dancer (stopped when I was 16) with a stress fracture in the second metatarsal of my right foot that has not healed after 3 years of treatment and a possible new stress fracture in my left foot from over compensating. Why is it that my feet aren't healing and keep fracturing? I don't do any strenuous exercising like running or jumping.
Avatar m tn my wife who is 38 years,suffered from a Foot injury & pain,MRI report has concluded QUOTE Undisplaced fracture of the cuboid bone with oedema of the adjacent soft tissues UNQUOTE May kindly advise on the issue and what are treatments for above.
Avatar m tn He ordered a CT scan and a bone scan. I was almost sure he had spondylolysis (stress fracture on pars). To my surprise both tests came negative. So, Dr. ordered an MRI. MRI report says: L5-S1: marrow edema in the rigth pedicle and pars consistent with a stress fracture. CT correlation helpful. Dr. says is only a stress reaction (no fracture) but he placed him in a brace for 6 weeks. Son started feeling pain late April and the CT and bone scan were June 11.
Avatar n tn My biggest concern would be a stress fracture. Stress fractures occurs from overtraining, usually from increases in milage in too qucikly. They can also be caused by poor footwear, runners should change their shoes at a minimum of every three months. See an orthopedist who will examine you and take an xray. If the xray is inconclusive, you will have a bone scan or an MRI. If there is a stress fracture, the treatment will be centered around rest until the bone heals.
525545 tn?1293181194 The fifth metatarsal is at the base of the small toe, and the proximal end, where the Jones fracture occurs, is in the midportion of the foot. Patients who sustain a Jones fracture have pain over this middle/outside area of their foot, swelling, and difficulty walking. Treatment of an acute Jones fracture that is not significantly displaced consists of a cast, splint or walking boot for 4-8 weeks. In case of non healing cast can remain for about 20 weeks.

Avatar f tn (NOT a podiatrist). You could have either a stress fracture or fracture of the cuboid. Plus you might want to make sure you are getting enough vit d (it should be at least 50 check the woman to woman website).
Avatar m tn Most navicular issues are treated non-op like stress fractures or even avulsions treated as outlined already. Navicular stress fracture looking at 6-8 week recover, tuberosity stress fracture vs avulsion, 3 months on average.
Avatar f tn It hurts more when I walk on it, less when I take weigh off on it, but throbs when I lay down at night. I was starting to wonder if it was perhaps actually a stress fracture and not MS related pain. I thought that maybe since my muscles were so weak in that leg that maybe it was too much extra stress on my bones. I also have a high instep (high arches). I was reading that people with high arches are prone to stress fractures.
Avatar n tn hello, it appears u r fracture has either ot united or is malunited...
Avatar m tn The pain in the ball of my foot is driving me crazy. I have been doing some exercises in the pool during rehab. During this pool time the feeling under my big toes is more like numbness than pain. I will admit that my extensor tendons, ligament, and muscles were very weak and it took a while to get the abilty to lift my toes/foot up but now can do this with no problem. Why does it feel different in the pool? Also it hurts more when I put on athletic shoes than with slippers or crocs.
Avatar m tn Try MBT shoes Patrick.
Avatar n tn There is possibility of stress fracture of metatarsals, neuropathy, tendonitis etc. If possible get X ray foot done to rule out stress fracture.
4318763 tn?1352730254 Was the stress fracture not picked up on an XRay? Did you in fact get an XRay before having the MRI done? We haven't tried out the orthotics yet.
Avatar f tn Abnormal longitudinal vertical cleft with corticated margins involves the mid navicular bone waist with only a small component of bridging bone and marrow posteriorly and inferiorly. A previous partial fracture with an ununited component is likely.
Avatar m tn Patient details and fracture details --------------------- Age: 27 yrs Cause of fracture: Motor bike accident Type of fracture: neck of femur fracture (trans-cervical) Surgery done: 24 hours after fracture Type of surgery: Closed reduction and internal fixation with 3 cannualted screws I met with an accident 7 weeks ago and as a result I had a neck of femur fracture in my left hip.
Avatar m tn just had jones fracture surgery and I am nervous that I hurt the surgically repaired foot. I was on my knee scooter with my bad leg and without realizing I moved my kitchen table over a few inches with the opposite hand. i'm hoping I didn't put too much stress on that foot....had so may pain killers in the foot, I totally forgot about it for a moment. the bad foot/leg was on the scooter not the ground.
2019109 tn?1346846455 Well, a cam boot does nothing to the healing per say but transfers the body weight to avoid stress in the region of the fracture/ injury, thus aiding in the healing process. If the piece of bone is small, non-displaced and without any attachment, conservative management may be preferred. Interventional measures or surgery may be considered if conservative management fails and there are significant symptoms attributed to the fracture.
