POLL QUESTION: HOW did YOU fracture your foot or ankle? LET US KNOW! 🦶Thanks for subscribing!🦶 Also let us know what topics you want to hear about! For the shoes and orthotics recommended in the video: wp.me/p9imRX-54n

Thank you so much for this wealth of information! I recently broke my foot (left, 5th metatarsal) by stepping on a pine cone at work *insert face palm* I was shocked because I'm 28 and have never had an injury. My ankle and foot rolled all the way to the side, and I heard a crack that sounded like a empty water bottle being squished. I have learned more with you here than I did at the hospital during my intake and follow up appointments.

What can I do for a broken heel in many pieces they said that nothing can be done It just has to heal that way is that my only option?

Wow needed this

Have a dancer’s fx that’s now 14 weeks old, very faint hint of periosteal reaction. The treating ortho said, walk all you want, weight bearing is ok… is like.. meh, whatever… A second opinion ortho said you need surgery and a bone graft. Going to try a bone stimulator as a last ditch effort, but if continue to have pain with every step, I will have to get a surgery. Any opinions?

I broke my 2 middle top of foot bones,metatarsal bones back in April, can't miss work and can't tell the bill collectors to hold on for 6 to 8 months, what can I do, I'm in agony and don't know how much more I can take

Dirtbike accident , fractures seen on mri in a post op surgery show right now, hoping my foot will heal it's been over a year since the accident

landed on right foot when jumping with parachute

i was running and it broe

Guy cut me off on the way to work, made me drop my sporty and hit my metatarsal on my break peg hard enough to cause a small microfracture upon rolling and landing back on my feet just to collapse immediately to the pain on my foot. Been healing for over a month and took all the steps prior to even watching this video due to my experiences in life and in the military. No joke that this small injury does take a long time. If anybody is going through a foot injury, please take it slow. I'd rather sacrifice half a year of embarrassment and small inconveniences than to never walk normally again.

I broke my Foot a couple days ago and I’m so upset finding out that it could take up to a year to fully recover! 😔 so many useful tips

I broke my foot walking on my lawn, walking the same path I did 100 times before. Didn't check my footing as I was in a hurry and just walked in a smallish hole and the foot flipped. At first, I thought I just sprained it. But I couldn't walk on my foot and something was loose, and it was colorful and huge. Turns out I ripped some tendons and broke a bone. I was surprised, a 30 years old in shape guy could break something so easily.

Jones fracture of the 5th metatarsal, right foot so no driving and no weight bearing. I had just left the office after my last day on the job, walking 10 feet to my car on a perfectly flat, smooth, clean office park sidewalk. My foot rolled for no particular reason that I can recall and I heard a loud pop. Seven weeks in, using an all-terrain knee scooter that I rented for $70/month at a local medical supply place (about 1/2 the cost of buying the same model and I didn't have to put it together). I use a walker in the shower to stay steady. Boot when out and about. I live alone off-grid, so this has been a challenging and isolating 2 months, but hoping I can drive again soon. I did get a bone stimulator through insurance (I just started a new job with new health insurance, so it costs me my entire $2000 annual deductible). My doctor thinks they really help, I am not sure... could be a very expensive placebo. Wishing all who are in the same boat speedy and smooth healing! You got this!

Motorcycle accident here.. left side 5th metatarsal #1 tip: do not underestimate the time it will take to heal yourself.. I'm 3 months in and still in a lot of pain because I couldn't stop going to work.. not worth it guys, heal yourself properly, take all the time it takes and do the physical therapy..

Broke my foot two days ago during exercise - jogging on the deck, had a bad twist and bam - broken foot, so much pain. I’m a bit lost now as I exercise and run daily, not sure how I will survive this, but thank you for your video and tips, it helps.

Grocery cart wheel attacked my foot in the broccoli, brussel sprout section of Kroger. Message being "i want cookies". .. It's been chronic Ouch for a few weeks already. Not much discoloration, not huge pain, not much swelling. But there is a bump and strong pain when I touch it. I know I have to heal it but no old lady walker for me.. Why ? Because I am a healthy, wild 80 year old girl and no no no I don't want a walker. Let the young kids look like an old lady and get themselves a walker not me. Its depressing at my age. Ill get a scooter. Thank you.

Knee scooter saved my life. 21 year old male who goes out with his friends everyday. Crutches suck!

I was on the 3rd or 4th rung of a ladder pruning my avocado tree. The ladder was well grounded and things looked pretty safe. I was about to start the cutting with my awesome chargeable reciprocal saw, but i decided to set the saw up on the wall and pull some smaller branches out of the way. I'm 80 so I'm more careful about ladders and saws. I took a hold of another annoying branch and pried it to the side and then it snapped and I was thrown back from the rebound. I landed on my left heel in a bed of cobbles (3-6 inch rocks). I think maybe tying myself loosely to the tree trunk would have been helpful. Also I think doing work with ladders and saws should be done when one is not tired. I spent about an hour working out and then I had been moving rocks and pruning for a couple hours before I started what was the most dangerous work. So I got an x-ray and it showed a "minimally displaced break of the lateral malleolus." I had a soft cast for 11 days and now I have a high boot. All the info in this video is fantastic. My doctor gave me about 5% of this. I'm using my mom's fancy walker to get around. It is terrific. It has brakes and an under the seat basket and i put the knee of my bad leg on the padded seat and push around with the right foot. I eat a perfect diet and have been doing some weight lifting and sit ups. I have one of those massage sticks and will try it out tomorrow when I go out in the sun. One thing I would suggest is to keep a large mason jar with a lid by your bed so you can pee in that at night and don't fall trying to get around in the dark. I actually had that happen. There are so many little things to help out like putting all your cleaning and toiletry articles out in one place.

Thank you Doc. and with all the comments I don't feel so alone. I am in my fifth week of #three toe fracture. (Xray report says goes into MTP joint & 2nd toe fracture also, but my Doctor says after looking at other xray angle it's just #3 near the top ) Doing all the right things I hope. This is scary going from fully active to keeping weight off so it will heal. Trying to be positive and will not rush healing.

I fell down the stairs two weeks ago and broke the 4th and 5th metatarsals of my left foot. We went to the ER within an hour and I’m so glad we did. Recovery is going well, but having my foot in the down position is exhausting! After 10-20 minutes, I need to put it up again. My endurance in terms of pain and energy is getting better every day.

I have a broken foot and I’m 3 months in and feel about 70% better like he said. No more pain at night, most the swelling is gone, I can put a shoe on without any pain at all. I can put standing weight on it but not walking weight and it’s very discouraging

Dropped a 45 pound weight loading the legpress. Again

My foot is injured, my parthner kicked my toe and my foot is hurt

Thanks for the tips. I fractured 1st and 2nd metatarsals, and big toe because I tried to move a 6 foot length of iron rail road track. Dropped it from about 4 inches. The top of my foot was immediately a giant blue bubble. I'm at about 6 weeks with a boot and scooter and I'm tired.

Someone dropped me like holding me from the sky and drop me down

I used a scooter because I broke my foot and ended up falling back and reinjuring my foot😒

A YEAR TO FULLY HEAL? 😭

I injured my foot about 2 years ago. I guessed it was a high ankle sprain, but didn't want to go to the doctor because it was the start of the pandemic at the time. I figured it would heal on its own, but after a few months, it was still pretty sore. Every now and then I feel a little pain in my ankle when putting pressure on it. I can tell my left ankle is physically weaker than my right. Is it too late to see a doctor or would I just be waiting both our time? pretty much every tip you mentioned in this video I did the opposite. I wish I would have seen this then, but I've had many sprained ankles in the past and healed with no problem. Any exercises, stretches, or tips you can give me? will the tips you mentioned in this video still apply?

Motorcycle fell on my foot, broke my 2nd and 3rd metatarsal. Thought it was only gonna bruise so I didn’t go to the ER. Next day, it was swollen, went to the hospital, they took me in. I got a surgery 3 days later. They misaligned my bones, so now my toes are not as they were. I think that’s the worst part cause now 5 weeks of non-weight bearing (still got one more). I got nothing to look forward to cause I am worried that this neglecting act from the surgeon will limit me so much 😢

Fractured my left medial base, 2nd proximal phalanx. One doctor recommends boots while another recommends no cast. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

BJJ- Back escapes/trips -Index toe on left foot I didn't even notice during class, but within an hour or 2, I knew something was wrong. This was 2 and a half weeks ago. I took it easy for a couple of days and it was almost all the way better. I resumed my normal activities and it's regressed. Like an idiot, I tried to run on treadmill and that's when I felt real pain and could not continue. Got it buddy taped now and will have to tell my dog, there'll be no walks for a while.

Thanks for this video i just saw it now and four days ago i had a car accident and a serious ankles problem but still struggling to heal because it's swelling i wish to ask anyone to help,my question is to know if hot water or ice which is advisable for fast treatment

Tripped on the footpath, on a manhole cover. Carried on with dog walk. About a mile. Thought it was just sprained. Went to A&E 2 days later, as still really swollen. Non displaced.

I broke my foot

I dropped something really heavy on my right foot at work 10 weeks ago and broke the 5th metatarsal into several pieces and it was an open fracture with the impact creating a hole half way through my foot. Had ORIF surgery and I’m walking and driving already so I’m very fortunate and happy about it. The first couple of weeks were horrible, a lot of pain at night and I constantly had to keep my foot up because every time blood started pooling into it, it would start hurting like hell.

fell 3 steps down vaccuming the stairs.

Fell down my stairs again, broke 5th metatarsal an open break, couldn't wear a boot, it hurt too much vs no pain without boot. Stayed off my foot for 4 weeks on crutches, doctor said it is healing well and stay off for another 3 weeks. I appreciate the exra info to keep me from re-injurying.

Twisted my ankle while summiting an 8000 foot mountain in the Himalayas.Walked 7 miles back down and to my car. Went to the hospital the next day. Guess I have a pretty high pain threshold.

Tripped on the stairs and twisted my ankle. Heard that sort of ripping noise and knew I’d need to go to urgent care. Broken ankle and 5th metatarsal. Thanks for all this information especially the reminder to prioritize self care.

Very informative video!! I also like ur sense of humor! How I hurt my foot was going snow tubing in Utah, on vacation. When I got back I worked for a week in pain and then went to the Daytona500 bc I got free tickets and Amazing seats. I went to work and had to close...I could barely walk and was in tears and finally went to the ER. Sadly not been able to work for almost a month. I work on my feet!!😣 My 3rd metatarsal is slightly fractured..not taking care of it right away put more pain and stress on it. I hope and pray to heal quick!! Thank u for this video!! 😊💜

Jump rope!!🙄I'm Never Skipping Again

Thank you so much for providing such thorough information. I slipped at home 3 weeks ago and didnt realize it until later in the evening because I have neuropathy and have injured my foot and leg multiple times. This was the last thing I needed however with our Medicare system being terribly exhausted! I walked out of the hospital on my injured foot for a few days before getting fitted with a proper boot! And after seeing the doctor the only thing he said was to continue wearing the boot for another 3 weeks followed by a few sessions of physio! No follow up, no need for further examination! Meanwhile you just gave us 25 tips and things to do to help heal the affected areas of the foot. Thanks again 🙏

I broke my third & fourth metatarsals about three weeks ago. We are remodeling, and had to climb through the wall, onto a ladder and over to the stairs to get downstairs. I missed the step & had instant pain. I’m in a cast for 6+ weeks. The spasms at night & lots of swelling have been hard to deal with. Thanks for this video. I did get some new ideas.

Broke my navicular bone during the 100m dash😂 right at the finish line I rolled my ankle and heard a pop. Currently in an air cast, it’s week 3 and I’m able to walk easily in the air cast and somewhat easily without it

So much good, relevant information in such a pleasant, upbeat presentation. Broken 5th metatarsal after rolling my ankle ... boot for 6 weeks, and plan to be back with my daily 4 - 7 mile walks and regular hot yoga practice as mindfully as possible. Blessings and thanks "Dr. Foot".

Make a video about when someone steps on your foot, could it break in a few seconds or is there enough layer of protection before that happens. And why a bruise hurts so much on top of foot, though when you touch the bones its not terrible but can make you think twice when you feel that bruise l Pain?

You’re so cute. Is the boot better than the shoe???

Twisted my foot while landing I don’t think it’s broken but damn summer just started already

My dad was at work operating a mini excavator which fell on top of his foot thanks for the useful tips!

Nice video thanks. I dropped a piano on my right foot and suffered a clean break in the third metatarsal. After the sixth week the orthopaedic surgeon said I didn't need any further x-rays/consultations as the callus was forming - although there was still no ossification between the two broken halves of the shaft. Now it's ten weeks since the accident. I am gradually increasing my exercise level with walks round the park but still cannot put all my weight on the ball of my right foot. I suppose jogging is still going to be months off. Oh yes, I started driving after three weeks using my left foot. Now I'm back to the right foot though I sometimes switch back if the right foot begins to ache too much.

This is so helpful, especially the info. about the boot, orthotic, and shoes. I have a minor calcaneus fracture from a fall while rock climbing. Made a mistake. ☹ Fortunately does not need surgery. Love this channel. Thank you!

i fractured my 5th metatarsal at the base around 4 months ago and still feel the bone aching some days right now. Is there something wrong or would physical therapy help this pain go away? I’ve done 0 physical therapy

I got most of questions answered, thank you so much. It is really very helpful and informative. I am 51. And I am still in a process of healing but have lot of queries. I had a road accident on March 3, 2022. I was hit by a taxi and it's tyre just happened to roll over the part of my right foot. During the time of collision, the pain was too intense and burning and I couldn't stand my right foot. I didn't realize that my foot had fractured until I was rushed to emergency room in a nearby hospital by the traffic police, of course in the same car that hit me! An x-ray revealed that I had 2nd, 3rd and 4th metatarsals broken! I was put an L-shaped cast for 5 weeks. I used crochet for walking. I got my cast removed on April 4. Now I am walking, however, I feel it's not like a normal walk, I feel my right foot being locked. I haven't started any physiotherapy but doing some exercises myself following RU-vid videos. Now the stretching exercises you have shared within us are going to be really helpful. Is it fine if I do exercises myself at home or is it advisable to do physiotherapy? Anticipating your positive response.

I was running and I Stept on a rock

I slammed the outer edge of my left foot into the kitchen island leg when striding by it. i had initial toe pain, then no pain for 30 seconds, then intense pain on the SIDE of the foot, but its getting much better daily, its very tiring using crutches, then when off them, you still wear a padded boot, and limp with EVERY step, very tiring...im over 70, first time ive ever used crutches! kinda dangerous!

Scooters made a friend worse in her back and hip and knee and arms that after a fall were hurt. Go but if you have a good but/hip. Literally. There are scooters that both your with are in front but are expensive. If you can rent an electric weelchair. With a regular weelchair you can stress your arms and neck and back. Keep weight off. Sleep. Rest. Don't push doing exercise you can stress something else. Trust me. Get a bench for shower its better. Listen to your foot. Doctors just do a quick check. Most times its not the not only the bone but torn ligaments not only in foot sometimes but in your hip or knee. Kinestetic tapes ate great. Be organized about your eating schedule. So you dont go to the bathroom often or at night or you have stomach issues. TaKe some sun. Great for the bones. Pillows...cervical, lumber, for your back, for your leg to go up, or both. For seating, for your bum and your back, a good recliner sofa great. You can sear strsight or low or very reclined but with your feet up.

I dropped my 600+ lb motorcycle on my foot. Small fracture on my metatarsal, it’s been a month and half and it’s been healing. Walking on it with regular shoes now. I think diet and nutrition has helped a lot. Going to start PT soon. I’ve noticed that massages feel so good, especially on my Achilles! Do you recommend sports massages ?

I was running through the yard at full speed and kicked a giant rock. There’s no swelling and very little bruising, but I can’t feel my last two toes, and it hurts to walk. My mom said to just tape it and shake it off😐

Broke my 2nd, 3rd & 4th metatarsals on the right foot last night. How? Walking my dog, who frantically ran after a dog she saw, making my ankle twist (knee in, foot out), then falling on that foot as it was twisted, crushing the outer side of the foot. It felt like my foot was a sausage bun, folded in half, for a second, and I instantly knew it was broken, without a doubt. Feet don't usually bend that way 😂😅 Symptoms: Sharp pain, numbness in the three last toes, aching/dull pain, muscle cramping in the foot, swelling (like almost instant), could not walk on it, it was impossible, weird discoloration, difficulty moving the toes and ankle, shaking, nausea (probs from the stress of the event).

I have big calves and unfortunately don’t fit in the tall boot. It’s really a shame there’s no other alternative in sizing

Hi, Ty for your videos! They’re very helpful! I have a non displaced midfoot fracture-calcaneus/navicular/talus/cuboid diagnosed at 1mo (initially as high grade sprain w weight bearing as tol). Any advice for the midfoot? Ortho and ankle drs said it’s not common and I’m having trouble finding PT exercises to help. My own PT is mediocre at best sad to say. They’re trying to transition me from boot to shoe/soft lace up brace but the pain is worse. Doing all my appt f/u etc but looking for any specifics/PT/do’sand dont’s/references etc for midfoot fractures to help healing. I’m at week 18!

Thank you for this video! I broke my foot 7 days ago simply by stepping backward on uneven mats during a self defence class. I got up immediately but within an hour, it was non weight bearing. I didn’t bruise til the next day and didn’t go to the doctor for 5 days because work forced me (thankfully). My 3rd and 4th metatarsals are broken.

hi its been 48 hours of my 5th metatarsal injury۔IM too much worried as i can't bear the pain of bandage۔ IM weeping ۔can we remove bandage to relief pain due to bandage

You are the best wish had since this before. The booth amd the cast were to heavy and painful for my bad hip, same with crutches and my lack of balance and weak and hurting right arm, the hard flat shoe to early too painful, wheelchair out of the second as my house is not big enough so...I had to use a half cast with a heal with bandages all around it and a desk chair with arms and wheels to go to the bathroom room and kitchen with someone pushing there, also used kinestetic tape and the soft lining with air ferula thats inside most sof cast booths. Both and now sometimes at night just the kinestetic tape or tight elastic bandage that keep my foot in 90 degrees and compressed. I broke 5th Metatarsol and a few strained/torn ankle ligaments it seems. Was in bad shape before with my foot. Have seen different doctors with opposite approaches.

Thank you for such a detailed video! I love how much information you provided, it was exactly what I was looking for. ❤

I was walking briskly in my backyard barefooted and slammed my foot unexpectedly into a single paver that was left near the back door. Third toe displaced and fourth toe very fat and swollen. The base of the 2nd, third, and fourth toes very swollen and tender. Slightly bruised. Walking is very painful. This was two days ago and the pain is not better. No more going barefooted outside for me after my foot heals.

Literally tripped walking down the street. Broke 2 of the top bones in my right foot. Walking was out of the question immediately!! If you can walk on that, your a superhero. I'm 50, first major bone break. Active person. It's now 2 months later. Just received the okay to start walking with the boot. I feel like a toddler learning how to walk again. I found a knee cart at Amazon for 150. ABSOLUTE QUALITY OF LIFE SAVER!!! Beyond recommend. Crutches are BS. Yeah, try carrying a plate of food or a beverage with those. Cast for a week and then the boot after that.

Okay so hear me out here. Most laugh at my story at first. Until the aftermath is told. So, we live in a 200 year old house and there's a lot of steeping up and stepping down to get to certian parts of the second floor. Well, my son wasn't watching his dog and fell asleep. And I had to use the bathroom. I stepped down from the one landing and slipped in something, well something gooey and gross. Fractured my left leg and dislocated my ankle. So hospital put a temp cast on it and scheduled me for surgery Monday. This was March 28,2024. Anyways, we get home and i have sever neuropathy in both feet. I go to hobble up on the sidewalk and fell again. I go to my surgeon the following day and that second fall resulted in a now compound fracture and dislocation of the ankle again. Left leg. I then told him about my right foot hurting. He looked at it said it didn't look right and back to xray i went. Im glowing by now! And what did that show? Not only the compound break on the left but a complicated Lisfranc on the right. And 9 broken bones on the right foot. I was immediately sent to the trama surgical ward. And went to emergency surgery on both legs/feet at the same time. Murphys law right? I'm still having issues. Healing is going slow. The left leg feels so much better. The right foot? Not so much. Still so much pain swelling and brusing. Thats my story.

I just broke my foot last week on Wednesday (June 26, 2024). I broke 4 bones because a car ran over my feet but was told i dont need surgery (thank goodness), but im wearing this boot that is super heavy. I had to cancel my vacation 😢. I have a vacation in Sept... will my husband and i be able to go?

In 2010 I forgot I was in top bunk and “stepped” out of bed fracturing my left 4th metatarsal. Then in 2016 I totaled a car and was told I fractured the left 5th metatarsal and that my 4th metatarsal was a non-union from 2010. I was in cast no weight bearing for 3 months with delayed healing after 6 months and use of bone stimulation finally healed. Starting this past week had recurrent similar pain in left foot and am going to get new image soon after playing tug of war with horse that wouldn’t load for 2 hours on the trailer.

Broke my foot riding a wheelie :) it was worth it

One day I had really bad calf muscle pain that night while I slept it went completely away. Could it have been a blood clot that broke down and cleared on its own?

My story is a little weird So Like i was sitting on the ground and my leg went numb and i just ran and my foot cracked

Great video. And I love that he isn't yelling.

how i broke my foot (light fracture on my 5th metatarsal): slipped at work. getting that good workers comp baby

i slipped on my sisters DOG SHIT!!!!!! TWISTEDX EVERYTHING NOW MY ANKLES killingt me iu have a broken fibia and tore my acls...pain pain pain all i do is sleep..its unbelievable! its very pressure in there as well like a tire inflater blew up my foot..ouch! help with this?? its elevated im in bed.. ouch ouch ouch

I was at a restaurant and the chair was a modern style with skinny sticking out legs. I went to walk in back of chair and my toe space between big toe and 2nd toe got caught by the skinny leg of chair.I was wearing flip flops. It pullrd me off balance as I couldn’t get uncaught… ended up falling cause foot was stuck. Broke 2nd, 3rd and 4th metatarsal heads! Podiatrist said 50/50 chance if I had surgery would the alignment of my 3 toes be normal again. He basically talked me out of surgery. So I am in a high air cast now for 2 months. I’m 6 weeks in and still in the aircast boot. Still swollen and huge space between big and 2nd toe. He said I should be able to walk normal and work out when healed. Idk if I should still get a 2nd opinion. That chair should never have been there. It’s a huge bummer!

I twisted my ankle on Thursday during a netball match. The Dr told me that I got a minor fracture. She put me on non weight bearing and gave me clutches and walking boots. When will I put my foot down?

Dropped a 10lb bag of frozen chicken quarters on my toes. Comminuted undisplaced fracture first distal phalange.

Do you have to you have to use ice? Cause I had an incident with over icing and it caused a bigger problem. Now I don’t ever want to use ice again.

Broke my navicular bone and dislocated too, thanks for the information! I was prepared if my foot won’t work normal anymore, I'm hopeful if I keep to the basics and be careful I can do it! Wish me luck on the surgery in 3 days

I fell down 14 stairs to the basement on memorial day this year, never had a broken bone in my life and im almost 45 years old. It really sucks taking so long to get back on both my feet 😩😩

Figured I'd comment here... My son dropped something on left big toe and I have a proximal phalanx stress fracture I've had it for 5mos before finding this out. It doesn't involve the joint. Initially I was told it wasn't broken but yeah. Question... My Dr said it's 75% healed and to get a shoe with a from last and no memory foam. I read your recommendations but they seem like what I tried on. I honestly don't know what I'm looking for. I tried a bunch and they all seem the same. My main pain is when bending my toes to push off of, it can't bear the weight and Im pretty sure how this just keeps injuring and not healing 100%.

I had just given birth and i was about 80pounds heavier than usual and I stepped down onto a freaking CAT TOY ! But I ignored it for 6 months because I had a newborn and ended up with multiple fractures. Another 6 months I am still not recovered because i continued to walk in a boot and worsen the fractures.

Fell while trying to get to my seat at a Ringo Starr concert. 2nd 3rd and 4th metatarsal fractures. Not much direction from ortho. I have a boot and was full weight bearing on day 2. But no follow-up at all so your video is helpful.

I broke my upper foot dacing in beautiful, white sperries. Alcohol was involved 😂I am going on 4 weeks. I noticed a lot of improvement and able to walk on boot more. Having a child and people who are ignorant makes it a million times harder! My foot first!

How early can we start massaging, stretching, moving the foot after a metatarsal break?

Thank you so much! I recently broke my left (3 middle metatarsals) in a car accident, I have pins in my foot that will be removed tomorrow. This video really helped.

Dropped a metal oil heater on left foot 4 days ago yeah im in agony, I'm also disabled and use wheelchair indoors and mobility scooter outside to get around, yet I'm banned from all medical assistance in Wales uk. I'm hoping I can learn how to heal it myself as I'm banned from all medical assistance in Wales uk. Last year I broke my wrist, I put a cast on myself it's still painful and I'm no longer symmetrical.

Hello, great video, thanks! What are your thoughts on using a Tens Unit on a foot with a lower fractured 5th metatarsal? Good idea, bad idea? Is there a time frame to start using it? Suggestions on placing the pads?

I was just walking to the garage on the sidewalk. I stepped down on the edge of the sidewalk with my mid foot. I heard.a POP. I couldn’t make it to my vehicle.

I broke my right big toe in half, by doing Muay Thai kickboxing! The diagnosis is fracture of proximal phalanx of right great toe. How can I heal this😢 I’m in soooo much pain and I don’t want to get surgery. Please help

I jumped from 8 feet height. My left feet with weak bones which was accidental prior 12 Years. Now it happened again by jumping. My left feet calcanus! I wanted to massage it but as docter put plaster on it. When i jumed there was proper sound crutch calcunus got broken at some point. Please recommendation required how to heal earlier

Great information. Any videos for multiple fractures? I was in car accident on March 15 almost 2 months ago I broke 2 wrist and 3 toes on my left foot. Any advice will be helpful. I have arthritis too. I am 49 and scar to not be able to work .

I was walking The ball of my foot and mid foot hit the edge of the curve I heard a Pop Followed by excruciating pain

After how long can we start the stretches? I imagine it needs zero movement to begin with? I twisted my ankle whilst dancing drunk. Navicular fracture.

Foot got crushed sideways because the horse I was riding slipped and fell on it 🤦🏻‍♀️

I jumped on a 5 feet deep waterfalls not knowing there’s a big rock underneath it. I broke my 5th metatarsal bone.

I broke my 5th metatarsal at the base, already the 8th week post fracture and cant walk on my foot, done x-ray and doc.said is not healing😢

My top foot has no red or purple. The is pain in the top and underneath. I'm limping. I use a tennis ball to flex it out. It hurts more when I don't use it( its been 4 hours since injury). My ankle is fine. But it my foot can't support the weight if I sleep or lie for to long and it hurts more to try to walk if I don't use it. When I flex it forwardwith my toes the top hurts, when I flex back with them the underneath hurts. When I touch the bottom, the top hurts. I got injured playing football(soccer) . I went left and the opponent was going towards me and stomped on my left foot as I was leaning left and my weight was shifted on it. Basically he slid on it. The pain was really bad after 2 hours.
