foot pain stress fracture

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.

t really have any pain walking or standing on my toes or hopping on the affected foot and there is no swelling. I can stretch and move my foot around with no pain. No pain when touching or pressing any areas. I did have a triple phase bone scan done last Friday and the results came back normal, so it appears I do not have a navicular stress fracture. Thanks again!

Well, without an evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the foot pain in your case. This may be related to the fracture, plantar fasciitis, spurs or other degenerative conditions. It is possible to continue to have a stress fracture over months when it is not given due attention and appropriate care.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

com/a/a75Yo Two weeks ago I felt a sharp, stabbing pain in my foot at the end of my run which has been causing me slight to heavy discomfort ever since. I went to the orthopedist and he told me after doing an ultrasound that everything seems rather clear so it should go away on its own with just ice and an anti-inflammatory spray but if it doesn't clear up in a few days, I should go do an x-ray cause it may be a stress fracture of the fourth finger. So I did and [here](https://imgur.

High arches increase the chances of a metatarsal stress fracture. So does extra weight and high impact exercise. Spasticiy can cause similar pain in the foot and lower leg.

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.

(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).

There is possibility of stress fracture of metatarsals, neuropathy, tendonitis etc. If possible get X ray foot done to rule out stress fracture.

Hi, I'm 15 years old and I've been having foot pain on the middle top part of my foot for about 2 years now. The foot pain is only present with strenuous exercise, especially after a long period of rest. When there is pain, some burning feeling is also present. I think that this pain started when I either dropped some textbooks on my foot or when I jumped down on it too hard. There is no swelling or redness.

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.

i let it go for a week and then went to foot doc who said it was a stress fracture...the only thing different is that i have swelling in that general area....so you may want to see a podiatrist...

Try MBT shoes Patrick.

As I started training I have noticed a little foot pain on the bottom of foot which was just caused a little soreness however as I completed my longest run of 12 miles on Saturday and the next day I couldn't put pressure on my foot without it hurting nor could I manage to walk for a standard period of time. Today is Wednesday and I still feel a little discomfort in walking but not nearly as severe as Sundays pain.

Main question is, if this cam boot does not aid in healing it, as Ive had constant pain since Nov. with my foot and finally saw the Doctor ( my fault thinking it was just sprained all this time! ) A friend said a chipped bone is not considered 'broken' and nothing more can be done. WHAT would the next option be? Surgery to remove that fragment of bone? Thanks so much for the advice/help.

The shooting/stabbing pain is crippling when I put any sort of weight on my foot, and puts me on the floor for 3-5 minutes until I can get up again - the pain is completely gone. The pain runs up along from the bottom of my shin to underneath the kneecap where the shin meets the knee. Any ideas on what this might be caused by?

I had a stress fracture across the top of my foot , no injury just couldn't walk , about 2 years ago. It was my right foot BTW LOL. The x-ray didn't show anything until about 3 weeks later when it started to calcify.

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.

A 3 pound can was dropped on the top of my foot today,I am experiencing swelling and pain that shoots down to my toes ands up my leg.I can still walk on my foot but it hurts.Could I have a small fracture on the top of my foot?

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.
