Running foot fracture

Common Questions and Answers about Running foot fracture

foot

Avatar f tn 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?
1017324 tn?1390936445 Over-straining the foot as in running could be the cause. Foot pain can also be due to arthritis. Faulty foot wear is another cause: the top portion of the foot could be rubbing against the shoes. Since a confirmed diagnosis cannot be given on net please consult your doctor regarding this. Hope this helps. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.
Avatar m tn The doc ordered a bone scan to rule out a stress fracture. Yesterday when I was running it would kill when I first started to run, but then it would go away. I'm still training on it, until I know what it is at this point.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn m starting to get injured more frequently. I think i have a stress fracture on my left foot kind of under the big toe (ball of the foot) that hasn't gone away since last November. Not only that, but on the top of my left foot when i flex it hurts and it might be another stress fracture so i'm told, and a left leg pain-i don't know if it's a shin splint because it's higher up, but it hurts when i run on it.
Avatar m tn I had a foot injury in Oct.2008 (sesnoide bone under foot/below big toe). The xray and MRI indicated fracture but the bone scan said no fracture. The injury got much better (I was able to wearing running shoes) in Mar 2009. I went on vacation, walked too much and have not recovered. I have developped a constant swelling in my left foot. In the summer, when I take a hot shower or just when I wake up, my foot becomes red and swollen.
Avatar f tn I broke the base of my 5th metatarsal in a transverse fracture, 4mm displaced, running close to but not into the space between the 4th and 5th met. A non-Jones fracture I've been told. It's now 9 weeks and only minimal healing. I was pretty much NWB for 4 weeks, then started WB but foot is extremely sore. Was taken out of a fiberglass cast at 6 weeks, put into an aircast, PWB.
Avatar f tn Not sure where you are from but in Aus, you would have been put into a post op shoe following cast removal (eg. Darko shoe) which lowers the forces running though your foot and allows for that muscle/gait reintegration process. You mentioned the pain becomes unbearable after a full day of work, this pain where is it and can you quantify it ( /10, type of pain, what makes it worst, what makes it better and how are you treating it?
Avatar f tn Go for an X-ray. Take rest have ice packs and some anti inflammatory drugs. With diagnosis you should have treatment near an orthopaedician. Take care!
3851566 tn?1348338001 I stubbed my foot very hard running, and there is a lot of blue bruising on my toes and around my joints and on the top of my foot. After I stubbed it I got really hot for a few minutes and light headed. That made me think I probably broke something in my foot. It is very painful to try to walk on it, but other than that it doesn't bother me that much its not in constant pain.
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 m tn About 5 months ago, when I was playing basketball with some friends, I went to save a ball out of bounds and landed normally on my right foot. However, at impact, my ankle felt like it was compressed together and all of the sudden was in great pain. I have sprained my left ankle many times, and the pain felt like a sprain; however, the way the pain was caused in my right foot did not resemble any of the ways I had previously sprained my left ankle.
Avatar f tn I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago by stepping on a rock while running. I sat in a chair for 3 days while applying RICE before borrowing a friends crutches & boot cast. Here it is 2 weeks later & the pain is still intense to the touch, my foot is still swollen, I can walk on it but w/ a major limp (I can't walk on it for long though)& now I'm starting to feel pain up the back of my ankle/lower calf. No, I haven't gone to see a Dr.
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 f tn I have been suffering with debilitating foot pain for almost two years. First diagnose was Plantar Fasciitis and I was treated with injections and a walker boot and also PT. Six months later I was diagnosed with fractures in both heels and have been in two casts, crutches and another walking boot. I am still in pain! I just had an MRI that shows Marrow Edema in four bones of my foot. What does this mean? I do not see the Dr. again for two weeks!
Avatar n tn My race is in 19 days, if I have Planters or a Stress Fracture can i cause worse damage by continuing training for the race and running the race? I found this forum early today and looked at some of the post but couldn't find one that was exactly similar to this question so i do apologize if this is a recurring question.
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 n tn I broke my foot 13 years ago they put me in a boot and my foot never really healed right.
Avatar n tn To clarify, this is your pelvis that was fractured and not your hip? Glad the treatment you had went well and you returned to full health. Returning to full health means getting back to activities that you want to do. Have you been strengthening the area once you were able? Did you work with a physical therapist? I would check in with your doctor but suspect you can start slow with running again.
5577688 tn?1434099370 5 weeks ago I was came to the hospital with Fever, pain and internal bleeding on my Foot. Ortho doc was faund by X-RAY that I had fifth metatarsal fracture (shaft) immediately I vas get in to a Surgery.. A week after the surgery the Dr who operated me send me home, with no Fixation (or cast) My question to you, dear Dr. : the doctor who operated me told me that I can try to set foot Is that ok? I feel I can du that, but should I let the bone healing? When can I start to walk / drive?
Avatar f tn There may or may not be slight mid-foot swelling present as well. Certain points on the dorsum and the sole of the foot would may be tender to tough. Pain can also be elicited while trying to stretch the foot or move it inwards or outwards. Hope this was useful. Take care!
Avatar m tn On memorial day I jumped in the shallow part of my concrete pool and landed hard on the heel of my right foot. Its now July 6th and when I walk I still feel some mild pain and discomfort. My mother has not and will not take me to see a doctor (I am 17) and tells me to stop whining. I am pretty tolerant to paint, and now that it has been 2 months and the injury has still not healed, I am really begining to worry.
Avatar f tn Is the pain on the top or bottom of your foot? I had severe pain in the ball of my right foot near the 2nd toe, like walking on a stone.....turned out to be a necrotic sesmoid bone that had to be removed (a miracle cure!!!) I now have pain in my left foot at the bottom of my 2nd toe....it's dislocated and has been for 2 1/2 yrs. I had hammertoe surgery (and stubbed it before it fully healed).
Avatar n tn Yesterday, I saw a foot and ankle surgeon about pain in my left big toe. Films showed a sesamoid fracture, non-articular bone spur outside the joint, and plenty of arthritis. Recommendation was surgery to remove bone fragment and shave off spur when pain was troublesome enough (which it is today). I am a martial arts instructor, which requires me to work barefoot, with intermittent running and jumping, approximately 4 hours per day six days a week.
