What an awesome video

Very informative! Thank you! I have a Lysfranc fracture and a trimalleolar fracture…

I broke my 3rd and 4th metatarsals. I’m concerned about it aligning properly. It happened on Thursday at 4:30. I immediately went to the ER and am in a splint. I see the orthopedic surgeon this week. I have never used crutches. I am an active 66 year old. I have been dancing Zumba 2 days a week in the last year, power walking, yoga, and calisthenics. I really appreciate some guidance doctor. Thank you in advance.

I walked for 10 days on mine. Everyone told me that, "You can walk on it, it's not broke." WRONG.

Thanks Doc. Awesome Video. I have a broken 4 toe😢

I got a 2nd metatarsal stress fracture. I have been walking 20,000 - 25,000 steps daily for years and just had increasing pain. After a month (very hard to see a GP in the UK) finally got referred for an X-ray.

Could you suggest a treatment for a friend who has rolled his foot and broken the tendon on the outside of his foot 6 months ago? There's a good bit of swelling still and he is active and even running. Thanks a lot 😊

Sometimes you can. When I was 14 a 150cc dirtbike landed on my foot and broke my foot and I was able to hobble around after a couple hours.

Any info for Calcaneus fracture info? Thru non displaced between heel and arch. I’d love to to know other options of traction besides full air cast boot since it’s so hard to wear causing so many other pain and discomfort areas. Any braces that would work?

I am glad I watched your video. I hurted my pinky toe n put in back. Then I went for X-ray n It turned out to be spiral fracture. Is it considered serious? Do I need to wear guard if I can still move around？

Broke my 5th metatarsal 4 months ago. Kept walking on it, working a manual job. Went to the doctor 3 days ago, and he diagnosed me with a broken foot. Whoops😂

The question should have been SHOULD You walk on it?

I have a Jones fracture right now. NHS treatment is X-ray, boot for 6 weeks and then get on with your life! They said I’ll only get an X-ray at 6 weeks if it’s still sore. It’s still sore at 4.5 weeks, so I’m praying it’s actually healed 🤦🏽‍♀️

Sir i had a partial ligment tear of ankle & i had to put plaster for 3 weeks now i am taking rest &exercises for strengthening the muscles.foot& ankle recovery exercises.now it is 9th week.i don't have swalling or pain but it is like pulling just below the 2nd& 3rd fingure of the foot.dr has adviced me take rest for 10 more days.hope i will be ok by then.i do exercises with weights & bands. I hour mrg& 1 hour at night muscle strengthening exercises. For foot ankle knee hip etc as adviced by my dr.

I couldn't walk on mine but it was the torn ligaments not the fracture that meant I couldn't walk. The ligaments holding my leg bones together and attached to the foot got shredded

Hello, I been researching and cannot find anything on a foot problem I am having. One problem I am having is that sometimes when I am walking and the bottom of my foot hits a certain spot, I lose control of my leg and fall down. I do know that that that the area is on the bottom of my left foot between the second and third toe. I also know it's only when pressure is applied to that area that I lose control of only that leg and fall down. Is there anything you can recommend, or what is this that is causing this and how is this treated? I have had this problem for a few years now. It's embarrassing when it happens in public and also hurts when I fall and scrape a knee etc.

Sir i met pinky toe fracture 6 weeks ago but it is not healing speedily.. any recommendations?

I walked on my fractured ankle for a couple days. It was excruciating. 😂

i injured my foot about a month ago, couldn’t walk for 3 days so i got an x-ray straight away and the doc said my foot was ‘fine’. eventually i could walk but it was really painful. i got an MRI scan and it turns out my heel is fractured. never get an x-ray from the doctor if u think it’s broken - they can’t read properly and also the x rays don’t pick up enough.

Hi good day to you I'm from South Africa PE why is it when I sit with my spaceboot in between my small toe and the one next to the middle toe it's burning and eatching a lot

Have evident subcapital fracture of 5th metatarsal with periosteal elevation. Already more than 2 weeks didn’t use cast and pain is less . Do I need a cast now am walking as have daily travel

Is PRP treatment good for a talus head fracture??

I think broke my toe with a electric pallet jack and it was swallow but I never went to check it and every time I move it, it feel strange and it happened more than 3 years

There is a fracture in the long bone of my fifth metatarsal. Can it be cured by plastering?

I was break dance and I landed on my ankle while jumping and when I walk on it it hurts so bad when I put pressure on it

I broke mine last week, I thought it was sprained. But by this wed, it really swelled up. Went to urgent care and wham, broken!!!! They put a 1000 dollar boot on my foot and I can't wear it. It weighs down my hip replacement. So hoping I get no surgery and a boot that hold my break in place but is light.

I twist my midfoot,i ate pain killers,using pain relief spray and doing hot water compulsion regularly.I get rid of my pain and also swollen came down slightly.Should i need to go the doctor for scanning ??? Please suggest anyone 😢

I walked on my fractured foot for a month!

It's been two weeks since an Xray of my left foot showed an undisplaced Jones fracture. I'm wearing air walker boots at all times except in the shower. My orthopedic doctor told me that I can put my weight on my foot with the boot on. Funnily, though there is still a marginal swelling on the side of my foot, it doesn't hurt me at all while I walk down to the bathroom. Im kind of confused because the videos that I've watched or the articles that I've been reading all advise non-weight bearing or surgery with screws. I don't know if I should continue to walk about or not or get a conventional fibrecast put in place.

I have jones fracture. I am 32 years old. My doctor suggested cast but not surgery.

I broke my first metatarsal bone a mildly displaced fracture and a spiral fracture in my 2nd metatarsal lol got told it wasnt broken by after hours gp bc i fell off a small deck and walked on it for 2 weeks in alot of pain, got re done and told it was fractured everyone was so mad how they didnt notice anything was wrong?? Got a boot thrn a cast and next week i get it off re xrayed and hopefully it healed i hsve been walking on it because not walking on it puts me in more pain lol

I felt a pop in my lower calf. My doctor diagnosed me with calf strain. However, calf does not hurt and outside of foot hurts and has been swollen. Should I have her look at it again?

I got a jones facture last week from dropping my motorbike on it (more of a crush than a clean fracture) but the ER told me I don't need surgery?

I slept in the bathroom after getting out of shower I'm about a year and a half ago, I have severe pain in my heel going up my ankle and in my Achilles tenant, it's getting worse I can barely stand on it. I went to see a podiatrist and they asked me if I hurt my foot and I didn't remember it so they tried to say it's plantar fasciitis. I don't think it's planner's fasciitis. It burns in my ankle in the arch of my foot, and I have broke several toes lol it's not funny but I feel stupid for not going to the doctor when it happened. I know I broke them because I heard them crack and they turned black and blue almost purple at times. They don't look deformed so I can tell you I have so much pain in my inner ankle from my heel up it's crazy. I can't take it anymore

What about navicular bone fracture? One can walk?

I have an first metatarsal base fracture, my doctor said I can walk without support and full weight bearing in 30 days, can I do so?

I was at the er on Thursday, they did an X-ray and said no fracture, but my pinky toe and top of foot and ankle still sore, red, and swollen. Could I possibly have an occult fracture?

I have a broken foot and it's is so painful

I broke my 5th metatarsal 6 weeks ago and they are keeping me in the boot for another 4 weeks I am really worried it’s not healing properly but I find I’m not really being told much and it’s making me anxious as I love walking

What is the key to getting insurance to pay for an MRI (in the US)?

I accidentally cut my foot with a grinder, a fractured bone on the 2nd toe finger…

You know Iam having a Jones fracture 13 weeks now , the doctor told me today just live your life normally if there is no pain or tenderness . Isn't that strange walking on Jones fracture and live normally . He said it ll take months to heal and there is no need to keep doing x rays with all the radiation and stuff . I need answers please ? Thanks

I broken my foot but I'm banned from all medical assistance in Wales uk. So like when I broken my wrist last year I had to fix it myself, I am disabled use wheelchair and mobility scooter to get around, live alone banned from all help in Wales uk, I have epilepsy, lipodermatosclerosis, osteoarthritis, arthritis, heart condition and borderline diabetes yet I'm banned from all medical assistance in Wales uk. How can I fix it myself as I also have bone disease where my bones break easily

yes you absolutely can. When I went to Ranger school in 2002. I broke my two top bones in my foot during mountains face. And I still had one more phase to go which is approximately 12 days. Give or take. And at this point you're up for days at a time. You don't get to eat really he start seeing things that aren't there. Movement to daylight trench foot blah blah blah. And where our school our class started out to 62 and we graduated with 104. Slam for school we started with 65 we graduated with 11. Anyways broke my foot and I knew I did it because it was clicking I felt it and I would not take myboot off. I refused because I knew if I took it off it would swell and then that would be it I wouldn't be able to finish and I'm not going to start over again. So I finished it off. And then after school I took a shower and let my foot balloon up twice the size. And I went and ate a ton of food because while in the school I lost 30 lb + 62 days.

I dropped something on my foot, tried everything to help it but nothing worked so I went to urgent care, they did a xray, said it's not broken, maybe I should see a different doctor, almost two weeks it's still swollen and discolored, hurts.

Broke my foot 3 times in the same spot. I walk around like nothing

iv broken my left foot twice from my moms wheelchair and walked like nothing happened

I fractured my second, and third and big break on the fourth metatarsal but still lines up i went to a specialist doctor he told that i don't need surgery that just had to wear orthopedic boot and be on crutches. 6 weeks later on second visit he told me that everything looking good he told me i could start bearing weight now im at nine weeks i walk on one crutch but still hurts too much. Im comfuse i don't know if im doing this at the right time i hope i didn't stared too soon

First time ever in my life, I broke my foot three bones

Can you have a fracture of the foot bones (top of foot off the base of the lower ankle) without any bruising ? I am having the symptoms you mentioned in the video. Pain goes away at night then comes on during periods of high movement.

Do all of these swell up and bruise??

Did you ever break your foot, purposefully kicking a metal wall?

I'm sorry, but at what point in this video did you answer the question: "Can I walk with a broken foot boot'?

I broke 5 bones in my foot and ankle, had a dislocation and i walked on it, i was in agony but i was on holiday in Portugal and i knew that if i went to hospital to get treated it would cause a huge knock on effect so i chose to bear with it!

When i buy work books, i insist on steel toes. I work with cattle, and I'm fully aware of the liability of a broken foot.
