Retractable Ball
I think I broke my foot?
About two months ago my foot was run over by a retractable stage which was about half and inch of land and scraped and my foot was very swollen and I could not walk on it for a month and I had crutches. The day after it happened I had an x-ray and told me foot was not broken. Well, now here I am two months later and I can only walk on one side of my foot. The ball of the foot and the top of my foot is swollen and still sometimes I have random sharp pains in my foot near my big toe. I can not bend my toe or my second toe. You think it's broken? and I must return for a checkup? Has anyone broken a bone before .. How do you feel afterwards?
Rachel, in my view, the foot is probably not broken. As a matter in fact, I would be very surprised if it is. Here is the main problem … who did not stay outside long enough that foot the initial injury, and heal that he made during that period (four weeks) has been greatly expanded no-make you walk on it for 8 weeks without being healed. The reason for the pain and the inability to flexing the toes due to damage to the ligaments of the top of your foot when the injury occurred. It is necessary to wrap the foot in 2 Ace bandage, and back on crutches for about three to four weeks … keep your weight totally out of it during that time. In addition, every night to soak for 30 minutes in warm water with a cup Epsom salt in it. After three weeks, start taking some weight "with" crutches for a week. At the end of 4th week, the foot should be healed.
