Michigan Foot Doctors I’m a dancer and I was doing a jump and landed really hard on my heel. It has been 2 weeks since I first injured it and I went to the doctor because it had still been hurting. They sent me to get an X-ray and they said that there is nothing there but I was watching your video about calcaneus fractures and thought that’s what I might have because whenever I dance it really really hurts and when I do the squeeze test it hurts a lot. My heel area is also a bit bruised as well. I have broken my foot before on a different part and I waited 4 weeks before going to the doctors and it showed up on the X-ray do you think there’s a fracture that’s just not showing up or is it maybe just a bruised bone or something? What do you think because it still hurts a lot but I’m not sure what to do. Please help me out!
Sat crossed legs and when my phone rang jumped from bed , foot was asleep anddddd lets say i havent felt it was twisted when i put it on the ground and the damn thing was almost twisted. Heard a crack bruised around ankle painful but doubt a bone is broken or its a fixed fracture at most. Now almost 48 hs swolen but kept it under ice, antiinflamators and in a made up fixation ligature since the closest hospt its 45km away its covid pandemic anddd i have to drive back to the city in a manual car...
It's amazing how badly you can hurt and not have a broken bone. I have a severely sprained ankle (swollen, bruised, can't move foot up/down, can't put pressure on it) but the xray says it's not broken. The human body really is held together by paperclips, rubber bands and duct tape
That's what I'm going through Wednesday will be 3 weeks since it happen I still can't move my ankle up or down still hurts. Very bad had it xray and said it's sprained both sides of my ankle and could be six weeks till I can put pressure on it ..how long did it take u to start putting pressure on your foot and also to start moving it up and down?
@@marcusmorrison7788 I ended up having surgery. The surgeon used a 'tight rope' to stabilize my ankle and tendons. It was 8 weeks after surgery that I had some range of motion, 3 months post surgery before I had full range of motion. A really good physical therapist might be able to help if surgery isn't recommended.
I too am struggling with a grade 3 sprained ankle, we should upgrade our skeletons to at least an early model T800 Terminator, although our self healing ability is already more like the liquid metal T1000 model, only not as resilient or flexible
I twisted my ankle and made a pop sound. First 2 days it was painfull 3rd day no more pain yet i can feel an instability on the outside portion.. No bruising when. It happened. I had to work with an ankle support on
I broke my ankle slipping in the bathroom. I literally heard it pop then I hit the floor. I immediately blacked out because the pain was sooooo intense. When I woke up I seen my foot turned a whole different way. The paramedic said oh it’s not broke it’s probably badly sprained 😒 sir my foot is crip walking on its own. It’s def broke. Ruined my whole girls trip. Now trying to get a good night sleep with a splint on it’s the absolute worst!!!! I hate it here 😩
Not crip walking own it's on tho😂😂😂 I pray you're better now. I sprained my ankle 11 days ago and my foot is sore and swollen still. I can only walk on the outer edge of my foot.
thanks you actually helped. cause when i was skateboarding with my buddy i feel on my foots toes it was so painful i was laying on the ground and was howling from the pain and my foot was Swollen. i can move it but i cant stand or walk.
@Anna Mesecher it really depends on the severity of the injury to the ligaments and if there were other parts of the ankle injured like the bone, the tendon, or the nerve. I sprained my left ankle four weeks ago. I had minimal bruising but lots of pain. The ligaments have healed but I can’t walk for too long until it starts to hurt again. The x-ray showed no bone fracture so I suspect my tendon was also stretched or partially torn. Just make sure you go to the doctor if it doesn’t get better. If it hurts to walk, then use a walking boot or whatever helps. If you don’t have pain moving it, then try range of motion exercises (don’t move it too far in one direction, only move it as far as there is no pain). After it is healed then you can start working on strength and proprioception.
I was hiking in the winter (February) of 2020 and my right ankle rolled really bad on the ice, the pain was like nothing I ever experienced, had to hobble back down a wooded hill and get in the car, adrenaline wore off and I felt like my skin was crawling...was hobbling for weeks, really bad bruising, couldn't even touch it without searing pain, could move the foot though little bit. Kept it in a brace from the drug store, was able to hike again in a few months, this was during covid so dr's visits were very limited...Wife was a huge help though, survived it!
US Army Airborne jumper here - had my first jump today. The jump & landing was nearly perfect. Literally landed in a small patch of 6 inch deep mud and it anchored my ankle as I landed breaking and fracturing my ankle. Going tomorrow for surgery 🙏🏾
Sprained my ankle going downstairs in the dark didn't see the last step thought it's the floor level. Next few moments my vision blurred and brain stopped I laid down flat while absorbing the impact.
Ouch, that is tough for sure! We really hope you feel better. Just make sure to see a podiatrist in the future if your problem continues. We really, really appreciate you as a fan and than you for watching!
@@DrTomBiernacki Thank you doctor, I'd like to know while following RICE, where to apply the ice directly on the swollen area or nearby? Also Is sitting under the sunlight with swollen part exposed any good or should avoid direct sunlight? where I live it's 26°C at day time. Thanks.
Sprained my ankle playing soccer today. I rolled on it and heard a pop. Was down on the ground for a minute, but got back up limping. Had it iced immediately and have been icing on and off. Not sure if I need to get it checked or not. The pain is not unbearable... what's unbearable is not being able to do all the physical activities desired.
I'm a skateboarder and it's pretty much an on and off thing w/ me tweaking my ankle. My first injury was a partial syndismotic tear 2 years ago. Since then I've tweaked the outside of that foot (EFL ?) three times. After 3 months it is usually fully healed... and of course I do specific exercises, try everything I can to prevent injury
We have to be our own advocates and not stop, or ask someone that you can trust. I rolled my ankle inward as walking, recessed storm drain was the step down , thst I didnt expect. I've had it assessed Day 1and then at 3 weeks, it's now been 8 weeks and I don't have the dull pain but it's lingering soreness, tingling top of the foot, cold soles, and it seems like it slips out at the joint as I become weight bearing after the seated position. They only gave me ace bandage and at 3 week I got a soft brace....I feel that it wasn't enough...frustrated because I've helped so many people when they've been in my current position. Thank you for this comprehensive video. Filled in many holes that other videos simply don't cover.
You are a great fan, and we appreciate you Sarah, we hope you feel better soon! If possible, we would appreciate a quick review from you, and these make a HUGE difference for us! g.page/r/CaxJ9b-O6o27EAg/review Thanks again for watching!
When I broke and dislocated my ankle, the EMT kept trying to comfort me, telling me don't worry, it might no be broken... while my foot is on sideways after feeling and hearing POP! POP! like broomstick snapping in a wet towel and watching my foot turn 100°. Im like, dude... its broke, take my word 🤨
lol, the funniest moments is when you're in agonyzing pain but something funny happens that takes you for 1 second away from ot, like i got my collar bone snapped in half after trying a 360° jump kick in a kickboxing sparring session and i could not move my entire left arm and it was the type of pain that makes you dizzy .. and the guy i was sparring was like hoooly shit i told him "dude i definitely broke something " he was like "well to be fair you kinda impressed that girl over there" i asked him if shes still looking while laying on the floor with a broken collar bone then i looked over and he was talking about a girl i wasnt into anyways so i just turned back and resumed into being pain
Sprained my foot for the 3rd time while walking down an incline and I stepped off the curb wrong. It happened to fast (and I was holding my child when it happened too) that I'm not sure if it was an eversion or inversion sprain. The first 2 times was the typical inversion but this time the dorsal, medial, and only a little bit on the lateral side of my foot hurts. It was excruciating when it happened! I did get an x-ray and no break thank God. But I'm impatient and want it healed now lol
It happened to me today when I was going off the bus, didn’t see there were stairs, I was in such a rush to tap off the card and get off and this happened :( it hurts the pain is just excruciating and my foot is huge. They did x ray and seems like my foot is sprained and not broken but it hurts a lot 😭😭 I was given crutches and I wonder how long I’ll be unable to walk normally
I stepped funny on the sidewalk and rolled over the outside of my ankle. It was extremely painful, but I was able to sit for several minutes and then stand and walk carefully without pain. The next day though i can't stand at all though, it looks like I'd better go see someone. Good luck to everyone
Hi sir 10 July my ankle fracture and 14 July surgery and 5th August plaster for 6 week .your video are very informative hope all is well Thank u soooooo much ( 🙏 namstey)
You are a great fan, and we appreciate you Poonam, we hope your ankle is doing much better now! If possible, we would appreciate a quick review from you, and these make a HUGE difference for us! g.page/r/CaxJ9b-O6o27EAg/review Thanks again for watching!
More of injury and re-injuring it: Every few months (at least once a year) I'll step on an uneven surface and roll my ankle. It's also a pain that's there some days and gone others (when it's more painful on the ankle it clicks, but there is a more recurring dull pain on the side edge of the foot between the pinky toe and the ankle)
@@JosephSmith-lm4ri Hmmm OK... I injured mine years ago but it healed, then one day years later I got a massive pain and a clicking sound... Rested it for few hours and I could walk on it no problem and pain was gone. But this happens every now and then ever since so maybe I am reinjuring it somehow? ... Its swollen atm and bit sore but I can walk on it carefully with little pain. Its just so wierd haha. I found that if my foot is flexed in a certain direction for a long time then when I go to walk I could get the click sound and sharp pain. Need to rest for hours then before I can walk again.... Anyway I may get it checked by a doctor but its nice to hear someone else has similar issues so I'm not crazy, thanks John!
Oh my God you’re freaking amazing. I literally just learn everything that I feel from this video and all these doctors that I’m going to paint all this money can’t even tell me what’s wrong with my foot. I’m over here on month number to suffering with steel, purple ankle and they can’t even tell me what’s wrong with it.😢
Thanks for the great response Rosa! Good luck and let us know if we can somehow help more. If possible, we would appreciate a quick and easy rating from you, and a good rating makes a BIG difference for us! g.page/r/CSzlpzp7G82TEBM/review Thanks again for watching!
I got sprain in my right foot 1 month ago but it recovers and i can easily run and walk but when i used to sit on bed by putting my both legs bend after sometimes it hurts but recover after walking i think i have some minor injury in my foot
I sprained my ankle during soccer. The first hours I had so much pain, but I could still put a little light weight on it. Day 2 I started with taping my ankle/foot and bought a brace. Day 3 I've been able to walk easily with very little to no pain however i still cannot move my ankle left and right. There is brusing on both sides of my foot, small spots on tons and a small patch on the left side of the ankle bone. I can still move my toes and I can walk the stairs. Im guessing it's a Grade 1 tear but since its bruising im assuming is a grade 2. Don't think i need to go to the doctor as I feel little to no pain.
I was playing basketball and went up for the usual layup but something was off about this one, I jumped too far horizontally instead of vertically. My immediate reaction mid air was to plant my left foot to stop myself but I was going so fast that my foot rolled when it landed and I remember looking down and watching my ankle go inverted with quite a bit of force. I was in excruciating pain before I even hit the ground. Thankfully I had enough adrenaline to walk off The court and drive home but once home, the adrenaline wore off and the pain forcefully convulsed through my body so much that I projectile vomited once I got out the car
The same happened to me, With heavy swelling, doctors cannot tell its a fracture or sprain, I got casting, and now I have to show again next week, Hope It will not be a serious injury 🥴
Omg I had the urge to vomit too yesterday. I think I sprained my ankle because I can't move it up or down to much and if I put weight on it it hurts so bad.
I've had a few fractures in my feet: 1. Avulsion fracture of lateral malleolus due to ankle being sprained when rolling it into a narrow channel - excruciatingly painful. I went straight to the hospital for that and into a moon boot for 8 weeks. 2. Spiral fracture of the 5th metatarsal, cracks in all other metatarsals and the two cuneiform bones - this occurred by a truck turning into the street I was crossing on foot. The driver mis-judged the distance between me and his truck as he tried to pass me. The truck's tyre caught the back of my lower leg resulting in these bones being broken. - 8 weeks in a cast.
My experience is that most orthopods avoid surgery on small long-bones, probably because the likely complications of such reduction procedures become their problems, and are potentially(?) worse than those of passive treatments like splinting. I had a complex (compression (displaced 1/2"), spiral, & comminuted) fx of the 4th metacarpal, and my climbing partner had a similar fx of her 3rd metatarsal. We both get functional compartment syndrome during significant exertion of the surrounding muscles because these fractures made the bones significantly larger in diameter (from infill of the many loose pieces & calcium overgrowth), leaving less room for exercise induced muscle growth or for circulatory engorgement ("the pump"). The only effective response to the pain that we've found is extension, relaxation, & elevation, to encourage venous & lymph drainage, to allow as much volume as possible for arterial & capillary blood. (Easier for my hand than her foot.) Ironically, the better shape we're in, the more susceptible we are. I presume we will have to deal with this until we are so old our muscles start wasting away. Yours might be simpler, but I don't know how much functional 'spare' room there is, for even the overgrowth of a simple fx, much less several side-by-side like yours. So this hint might help. When it hurts, she lies on her back with her foot up high & toes pulled downward.
Mildly displaced 5th metatarsal fracture. Been in a walking boot for just over 8 week. I had xrays today. I was told the xray results wouldn't be back for at least a week!! :'( I am still non weight bearing! I had ankle surgery in 2014. I am concerned that I may need surgery and this treatment delay is causing further issues. Should I get a second opinion?
@@mrsmcg No X-ray results for at least a week??? That's a joke. Our medical system in Australia is far from perfect but X-ray results come back on the same day. Without an X-ray, how do you know the fracture is mildly displaced? Generally mild displacement is not usually a candidate for surgery. I'd push to get that X-ray.
@@AncoraImparoPiper the xray results from prompt care visit in August came back in 24 hours. This was a follow up visit with a podiatrist. I don't know if the front desk staff doesn't know any better. I will call them on Monday to see if they have the results. I have been non weight bearing for over 8 weeks, and I still have foot pain. I had ankle reconstruction in 2014.
I was doing pull-ups and the screw came loose. I fell on my back, couldn’t breathe for 20 seconds, i have a pain in my back when it’s touched; however, my right leg also got affected by the fall. The ankle seems to be hurting a lot. Does it mean that I can’t play sports in a week?
I landed primo on a skateboard with the arch of my foot straight on to the edge of the board yesterday. It doesn't hurt when I put all my weight on to my heel, however it hurts like a mofo when I put weight onto the sides of the foot. It is fairly swollen, but not as much as the photo in your video.
Oh and I'd be interested in your opinion on the benefits of a healthy diet. I heard from other athletes that anti-inflammatory vs inflammatory foods can really make a difference
I hit my upper foot against the table and it still hurts when I walk or even when I'm laying down after a month, i don't know if it's dangerous or if i should see a doctor
Walking from the living room to the kitchen! Foot gave way, along with quite a loud crack. Excruciating pain. Am in the uk, so was just referred to a nurse at my Dr's surgery. Foot got a bit of bruising at the foot end of the toes, plus quite a bit of bruising underneath the foot, and on the arch. Had a lot of swelling. Nurse said she "thinks" I have torn my ligaments and broken some of my Phalange bones. That's it, in the uk! That's all you get! No x-ray, no aftercare, no physiotherapy! It's 7 weeks now, and it's still swelling, although not quite as much. It's not as painful on the top, and the bruising has gone, I can bend my toes up and down now, but it's STILL painful, especially under my arch and the sole of my foot.
I am Day 6 on a sprained ankle and it’s still swollen and bruised. I am so tired of hopping. Going to the washroom is the worst. I just want to be able to walk again. Hopefully soon :(
I torn a legitimate in my right ankle over 3 years ago just walking outside of my apartment. I called 911 first and then my mother. I thought that I broke my ankle but, it was just a bad sprained. It was really bruised all over the foot,ankle, and the heel. I wore a boot for a couple weeks. I was at my mother’s house during those 2 weeks. I glad that it wasn’t broken. I had a x-rays of that ankle. My mother was angry that the hospital didn’t call right away to see if the ankle was broken or not. I even had a broken ankle on my left ankle.
I was playing volleyball and when I jump I landed on the side of one of my feet and felt 3 pops while it bent. It’s been extremely swollen for two days now and it’s now pretty bruised(dark black and blue bruises) on the left side. I thought for sure it was sprained but now I’m a little worried it’s broken or fractured.
@@soumo58 it actually turned out to be a very bad sprain but before I got an X-ray the doctor thought it was for sure broken or at least fractured because of the the severe amount of bruising and swelling so if it’s really Black and blue then you probably wanna get it checked out.
@@emmareineke8606 Thanks mate... I was very worried... Can you please tell me how much time need to heal...Because I have pretty important match coming in 6 weeks.
@@soumo58 it’s took my about a month and a half to two months before I was ready to play again. I still have yo where an ankle brace when I play and my ankle still swells up and gets sore while I’m playing and working. Healing time could be different for you. You might have to wait and see how well you are doing. But by a month and a half you could possibly be ready to play.
Heal bouldering ( rock climbing) missed my crash pad. 2nd time was surfing, the board flipped and hit my foot. The next day my toes got black and blue and the top of my foot was hurt too.
Hey doc i twisted my right foot while coming down from stairs the swelling increased but less pain and no blood clots or redness should i consult a doctor?
Hey man, I was playing football today and as I was running I was also thinking if I need to be defensive of offensive, and I just keep running and all of a sudden BAM I accidentally put my foot in a way that u would put it if u rolled it but I had all my weight and support on my single twisted foot, I came back home took a shower and wrapped a bandage around my ankle, it hurts in all the places where u have ur ankle ligaments, should I see a doctor or wait it out?
I just stepped off of a curb this morning while holding my 3 yo daughter. My ankle rolled out from under me and I fell to the ground. Don’t worry, she was perfectly fine. I heard a crackling sound. I can walk, but it’s a little painful on the left side. I can’t walk without a limp. I don’t think it’s broken, but it definitely hurts. I’m trying to figure out whether I need to go to the emergency room or not.😫
Sorry to hear about your injury how is your ankle doing now? I heard a popping sound while sprained my ankle but like you say I can jump walk without limping and Im working out every day like normal but after workout my ankle look little bit swelling but no pain and after 30 minutes swelling goes down.
I twisted my ankle 6 days ago while playing basketball, at first it was really painful and every time my foot touched something it would hurt a lot. It was also really swollen but everyday it’s getting better and i walk with a slight limp now, its still a little swollen but barely noticeable. Im pretty sure its nothing serious but should i go check it or is it not necessary?
I felt down from the stairs... I literally felt over it in the toes zone. The part where toes starts is purple-black. I get a XR but there is not visible fracture 😅
Man your videos are awesome, I broke my fibula on my May 9 2020 jumping down 4 stairs on my skateboard (the trick i was trying is called a boneless ironically - switch front 180 boneless for all you skaters reading) landing on slightly uneven ground... I was landing with my right foot forward (goofy position, yes, that's really what its called... if you skate with your left foot forward is referred to as regular position fun fact) .. and my back foot missed the board so it was an out ward ankle roll (imagine a skater with the back foot dragging behind them off of the board) that ended up breaking my fibula on quite an angle. I was wearing a boot/ crutches for about 2 months.. since about July 15 I stopped using crutches, and slowly stopped wearing the boot as well but I havnt been using a brace.. it seems to be almost better but the area still seems to get get slightly swollen as my day progresses, then I put my foot up in the evening or wear my boot again overnight. The brace seems like a good idea. I am a drummer and the show must go on so i'm hoping drumming is helping strengthen it and not doing more damage. It was a decent break, been 3 months and 10 days now... does it sound like its healing properly? Theres no pain anymore except for when i put pressure just above the bump where the fibula meets your foot... so the fibula itself i guess, around the break site. I have to apply quite a bit of pressure and the pain is not severe. It just worries me that it is still swelling up a bit after so long. My entire job is walking all day (hospital porter) and id like to get back to work asap but I don't want to jump the gun and risk more damage. I know you can't give me medical advice but your perspective would be greatly valued
Didn't see a small step on a deck. Rolled my ankle and couldn't use foot at all. ER said "no obvious breaks". Trying so hard to rest but i am climbing the walks. Got a knee crutch. Amazing product
Oops. I "hurt" my ankle while I was playing with my dog and goat. It didn't really hurt. In fact it was rather numb. No bruising initially so I assumed that it was a mild sprain. I am an athletic person who is always cycling and swimming. I went to work as a chef, the pain and swelling increasing every day for 12 days. Walking and weight-bearing becoming more difficult every day. Going to the doctor tomorrow and I am worried. My ankle is starting to deform. I am almost 50 years old and I can barely wear a sock now. Is it possible to break an ankle and not know it?
I'm guessing you're all sorted by now, but 4 months ago I broke 3 bones in my ankle, foot was dislocated, and I didn't even realise it was broken until I looked and saw my foot out of it's socket. Very grateful that I didn't feel that!
Hello, I am not sure if I have torn or partially torn ligaments. The way I injured it: I played left defender in a soccer match and jumped forward with the right leg in front to stop a pass, the ball hit my heel and caused me to step sideways. I had trouble walking right away, after 30 min I put ice on it and after 3-4 hours I went to the pharmacy to get some gel to put on it. First pharmacy didn't have anything, second one did, both told me to go to the ER because of the size of the swelling, so I did - x-ray came out - no broken bones. On the second day the pain kicked in and I couldn't step on it anymore(previously there was no pain - just a weird feeling preventing me to walk faster[ like a numbing signal]) I got an ankle tightener. 4th day came the purple coloring(by now I've been hopping/using crutches) on the 5th day I started walking again (stopped icing and putting gel, but fearing to put much weight on the leg - speed of a really old person using a cane. aaaaand today is the 6th day.
I’m watching this because I don’t know if it’s a sprain or fracture. Happened about a week ago playing soccer, got challenged pretty bad and I black out from the pain. It’s currently day 5 or 6 idk but I can’t seem to put much pressure on it. It’s blue and purple and swollen red where the fibula ends. Yk that like little ball thingie on your ankle just right above that.
My parents said i sprained my ankle- I was trying to walk to school with a friend and i tripped and basically rolled over my ankle and foot... so im now at home trying to find ace bandage bc it hurts like hell to put any pressure or even turn it in anyway, yet im being told to walk on it 😹👌
I dropped a bed frame on my foot right where my toes meet the foot itself and after the third day it hurt worse than the first day, I'm on day four and am not sure what to do...
Was playing pickup at the park and went up to try and contest this guys shot and ended up lading wrong. My right leg touched the ground first and my shoe landed at an angle so I landed on my right ankle with all my weight. It’s currently swollen like crazy and I have multiple purple looking bruises on the sides. I can walk fine, but it’s definitely sore

I was playing tag at the park and since it was dark I bumped into something( a pole) my foot twisted and then I fell and sat on it... It hurts so bad 😢... Be safe! Be careful! ( I'm 11 years old) I sprained it and i cannot sleep at all 😢😢😢
Kicked a metal pole full force and cant walk on it directly but can walk on the sides without too much pain. Pretty swollen on the top half and can put a decent amount of pressure on it before it really hurts. Cant really bend the middle three toes too much without pain. No real color to my foot that isn’t on my other foot.
I was able to tell by the reaction in the emergency room and the fact my foot was floppy and I could not in any way at all stand on it. It was bad. Go and get an xray and find out for sure. Don't mess with it. If my children sprained an ankle, I got it checked out. If you sprain an ankle, you weaken it. It is then more liable to sprain or fracture, so if you have a recovered sprain, do ankle strengthening exercises and keep doing them.
So My navicular bone is popping out ,I’m limping , and it looks like a bee sting and what happens is that every 2 days the pain comes back like for example day 1 its fine then day 2 its pain and then it keeps happening what do you think it is?
I fell down the stairs (snow) my right foot turned inward. Swollen and in extreme pain. Can’t move my toes. Motrin not working. Can’t go to the hospital due to snow storm. I’m so upset
We really hope that you feel better, that is tough for sure! We really hope start to improve Just make sure to see a podiatrist or your primary care doctor in the future if your problem continues. We really, really appreciate you as a fan and than you for watching!
@@DrTomBiernacki thank you for responding. Believe me that means a lot. It shows you care about us watching in pain. This happened Saturday and today it continues to hurt. It hurts to walk. And today’s my birthday.
@@DrTomBiernacki my toe (the smallest one, i dont know what it's in english) got squished under my PE teacher sneaker, while I was barefoot and that day it hurt quite a bit and a day after (today) there isnt really a lot of pain but there is a purple spot. So could this just be kind of sprained or just hurt because it was squished?
I am 46. I have mobility issues, fibromyalgia, obese... Chronic illnesses basically. I was simply walking. I have a walker i should use.. I did not. My ankle just did its plain old thing and rolled. This was not my normal one. I felt it. Yep i fell hard at the bus terminal. I got an ambulance ride to the hospital. Nothing broken. I do not think i have ever had a sprain this bad, ever. I do remember if i have, but i don't know. I am starting some research and learning so i can heal.
@@clintbizkit my ankle was hella purple and swollen like a tennis ball. Get some horse muscle reliever. That’s what i used , i think. It was in russian cuz my mom gave it to me. Wrapped it up and was able to walk a day later
Me too, and I couldn't even imagine the thought of putting weight on it. Pretty easy haha. Week 3 now from a double fracture, weight-bearing is getting better :)
This is the 2nd time I got injured. My left foot seems to turn inward unknown to me so when stand up, I fall. First time about 2 years ago doc said it was a real bad sprang. Last night, I didn't have treatment . Doung ice, elevation, and rest throughout the weekend and then I will re-evaluate.
Hurt my foot by slipping, falling, bending Toe back, completely falling to the floor. Hurts in toe, slightly purple. Hurts to walk,..in the Arch area up to ankle. I figure it's a strain, but my ankle is definitely popping a lot more then it used to as well. Pain is worse after use and limping.
A large dog knocked me down in full speed. I now have a rod and screws in the leg. However no one bothered to look at my ankle injury. I’m at 6 weeks since surgery and still can’t put much weight on my foot. Ouch
I hurt my ankle while playing basketball. I stepped on someone's foot and it was too painful. My foot was swelling and turned purple a few days later. After two months I still have some swelling but at least I'm back to the court and also doing my regular activities. Sometimes my ankle feels stiff in the mornings but after I warm it up and stretch it feels almost normal.
I am sorry to hear about your unfortunate ankle incident. I hope that you get better really soon. If pain and stiffness persist, please visit your primary care doctor or a podiatrist. Thank you for supporting us! 😊❤🙏 If reasonable, we would appreciate a quick rating from you, and a good rating makes a MASSIVE difference for us! g.page/r/CZWo3fJqJrVpEBM/review Thank you for being such a great fan; we appreciate you watching!

this is how I got my foot hurt, so my mom picked me up from school and when I went down to go inside the house I didn’t know my mom didn’t stop the car so I went down and the tire ran over my foot, it was stuck there for like 1 minute but after my mom reversed a little I was free luckily it was only the edge of my foot but I had a huge bump there
Please sir, I had a ankle injury 2 years back, I consulted more than 5 doctors, x-ray mri ct neuro test.. I have done all but no use..they all say my leg is perfectly fine. I think the main reason was in normal situation I don't feel any pain, I feel it only when I do some serious exercise. so when the doctor twist and turn my ankle to check I don't feel any pain. I was playing badminton (for the first time in a wooden court) and I felt a small pain in my right ankle when I reached out (in some what a full extended lunges position) to the shuttle. I continued playing for some 2..3..mins when sudden I felt serious pain i the ankle. Veins and all were like swollen up.. was not able to walk for free mins.. at that time upward motion of the ankle was okay but when I tried downward motion, the pain increased. With in 10 to 15mins all felt normal but it was not.. stopped playing serious badminton, football.. I can jog but I can't sprint. If I put my right leg flat and try to bring the knee forward I feel a high pain all around the foot.. not just in the front but in the sides also, around the balls.( With one hand if try to grab the ankle from front, I feel pain from Intex finger to thumb line ) Could you please tell me what causing this pain and suggest some solution 🙏🏼
So this is definitely not a diagnosis and always check with your doctor before any treatment but its always important to make sure flexibility is equal for the foot and there is not a contracture following a chronic injury. This can lead to ball of the foot overload the dorsal Midfoot compression syndrome. The #1 cause of chronic pain following an injury that we see is unresolved tightness in active people leading to many problems during high activity load.
I slipped on a plastic folder my wonderful child left on the floor. I landed sitting on my foot, it being sideways and crushed between my fat butt and the floor, which is just a concrete slab with vinyl over it. I went into shock, which made me think I was having a heart attack and about to die 🤣. It hurts pretty bad, but I can walk on it, so I’m gonna go with hoping it’s ok 😬
We really hope that you feel better and thanks for watching our video! We're sorry to hear about your problem and we really hope you feel better soon! Just remember to see your podiatrist in person if you are not feeling better in the future! Thanks for being a fan!
Oh joy, I’m back!! This time I tripped over my adorable little dog and cannot bare any weight at all. Thank goodness she’s so darn cute 🐶, can’t even get mad at her for always being at my feet. ER says it’s not broken, but said it looks slightly dislocated 🤔, and just a sprain. I can’t put any weight on it. I guess I’ll give it a couple days, and hope it gets better, before I start the battle with my doctor to get a referral 😒
I was walking my dog and he took off after some birds. Unbeknownst to me my left foot was on some small rocks and he pulled me off a curb and I ended up rolling my foot at a 90d angle. Now, my foot looks worse than any example in this video. The the foot is swollen and toes are purple, as is the right and left sides and heel. I’ve been to urgent care and the x-rays show no fracture, in fact they are normal. I can stand on it without any pain, I can walk gently. Looking at it the doctor says it looks broken but it’s not behaving broken (and X-rays are good). So, urgent care is not concerned and I’m not in pain (for the most part)…but it REALLY looks bad. When should I be concerned? Also, I’m flying to Dubai in 10 days…safe to fly long haul? I welcome answers from anyone
@@TASIAawful1 it’s been about 9 nine days and I’m making progress. Still some light swelling and I need to take stairs with caution…unfortunately, I live in a townhouse with 3 floors. One odd thing…my entire leg makes cracking sounds for about the first 30 minutes after waking up. All my best for your recovery…I can relate, it’s awful.
Twisted playing soccer, needed two friends to help because on the first moment I couldn't putvweight on it, but after some minutes I already could put weight on it, but it still hurts a little
I am a teacher and sprained my ankle a year ago while coming down the stairs. Xray showed no fracture but MRI showed inflammatory synovitis with mild ankle joint effusion. I had no option to quit the job at that time, so I took no rest and kept working all days. I used to get cramps and pain while standing, walking, climbing stairs and swelling by the end of the day. The injury became more serious and I had to quit the job. It's been almost 2 months now I have been resting at home. But still I can't walk properly and my ankle shows stiffness, redness, swelling and burning pain. I can climb the stairs but can't go down the stairs easily. It really hurts. I feel hopeless and helpless thinking that my ankle has been permanently damaged. Not understanding what to do....totaly fed up now.☹️😫
I fell off the main deck of a cargo plane and when I landed on my feet, I rolled my ankle and felt a “crunch” feeling. My right the inside of my right ankle was black, purple and blue. I thought it was just another sprain so I decided to treat it at home. Wear an ankle brace, elevate my foot, etc. But for some odd reason, it still hurts. when I sleep and my foot twitches, the pain shoots back up as if, I sprained it again. The incident occurred in February, it’s now June.
I got my foot caught in a rotating shaft on a machine and it was trying to wrap my foot around the shaft. The shaft was on top of my foot pulling my foot under and around it. A pin holding a coupler together on the shaft started digging into the top of my foot that's when I felt a bunch of pops and felt like something in the arch tore. Cat scan shows 4 fractures but I need to go to an orthopedic Dr. For an mri. The injury occurred 1 week ago and the earliest I can see a Dr will be another 3 days. I hope I won't need surgery.
It’s 7 months in and I’ve seen 6 doctors who’ve told me to just let it heal. What the hell is going on, even when you do seek help doctors don’t listen. I have now seen a specialist who says it’s a bone bruise/ bone dent. I’ve had to stop doing exercise now, I’m so afraid of my ankle degrading and that it’s been neglected for too long. The pain has totally changed my quality of life, I tried so many times to get help, is it too late to save my ankle? I’m highly active with hiking and dancing
I commented on another video that was old, but as I was saying. I rolled my ankle and it feels like a ligament is torn. It only hurts when I walk. What should I do. And what did I do exactly...
I have a fracture at my fifth metatarsal. I've been in a cast for two weeks now... i saw my foot propoerly during the xray, and i notice a very very apparent purple vein near the area of injury. What does this mean?😢
I got caught in a toe hold in brazilian jiujitsu and it was nothing at first, then suddenly my whole foot gave way and turned much farther than it should have. There was a loud crunching crack and then it turned. However when he let go of my foot, there was no bruising, my foot felt fine and had full range of motion. It wasn't until the next day that the soreness started. It's been almost two weeks now and it's still an on/off soreness. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. So I don't think anything is broken, but definitely got strained. The loud crack we heard I believe was just my joint cracking like when you crack your knuckles. I'm not sure what to do about it other than just give it time to heal up.
I twisted and broke my ankle in a roller skating accident 18 years ago. It's finally starting to heal. The doctor put in a plate and screws on the outside of my ankle. He even bragged about saving money by not using titanium. Titanium is expensive.The skin wound shrunk to probably 1 1/2 inch across. The pain is mostly gone but still swollen. I wear lace up shoes to accommodate the size difference between my feet.
I do demolition work and A peace of heavy metal fell on the lower knuckle part of my big toe. It hurts when I try to walk ( I can put absolutely no weight down on it!) It has swelled up and it's extremely painful. What kind of injury would you say this is?
I couldn’t tell after a bad motorcycle crash. Tons of black and blue bruising and swelling. Didn’t feel broke, but just stayed off it for two weeks. Luckily I’m back on it and back to work with a boot. Seems to be getting back to to normal.
Anyone wear 3”wedges and flipped sideway and fracture bone on right side of right foot. Did not need surgery Dr orthopedic said to wear compressed boot. The boot hurts the side of my right side of foot. 3 days after fracture. Twana Parker 5-22-23 OKC
So I can move my foot up and down but I rolled it and as I rolled it I heard three loud crunches. Only on the outward of the foot it's a little swollen and hurts.
I’m a gymnast and my coaches think I sprained my ankle today when I inverted it I think, I’m able to walk with a limp but I have not seen any swelling or bruising, I have tape on what else shoul I do ??
i sat on a rock and then when i did,it rolled,i fell and when i stood up i suddenly felt pain,i dont know if its broken or dislocated,this happened yesterday and its still painful
Hello @DrTomBiernacki, I broke my ankle at work. I work At Great America which is an Amusement park by my house and I work in Foods and I was grabbing a Mustard Pump like my boss asked me too and I ended up slipping on the steps and I ended up breaking my left ankle in two places. My ankle is still Swollen, Bruised and deformed. Does that require surgery?
I slipped on ice and injured my left foot about 6 days ago - in fact, I slipped twice in a row - and I struggled to walk right after that, and had some lingering pain in it even when I lay still in bed that night. I have however seen gradual improvements since then, and I recently walked to the supermarket next to my university, which is at a walking distance of about 20 minutes away, and I could walk _almost_ as fast as I usually do, with a little bit of a limp. The only pain that I experience is around my Achilles heel if I put a lot of sudden pressure on it, which is basically why I walk with a limp (I can put bodyweight on it, I am just careful to not do it too much), but apart from that, I am pretty much fine, and I don't see any swelling or any deformations or anything like that.

Michigan Foot Doctors I’m a dancer and I was doing a jump and landed really hard on my heel. It has been 2 weeks since I first injured it and I went to the doctor because it had still been hurting. They sent me to get an X-ray and they said that there is nothing there but I was watching your video about calcaneus fractures and thought that’s what I might have because whenever I dance it really really hurts and when I do the squeeze test it hurts a lot. My heel area is also a bit bruised as well. I have broken my foot before on a different part and I waited 4 weeks before going to the doctors and it showed up on the X-ray do you think there’s a fracture that’s just not showing up or is it maybe just a bruised bone or something? What do you think because it still hurts a lot but I’m not sure what to do. Please help me out!
I forgot to mention that it’s also really swollen!
Sat crossed legs and when my phone rang jumped from bed , foot was asleep anddddd lets say i havent felt it was twisted when i put it on the ground and the damn thing was almost twisted. Heard a crack bruised around ankle painful but doubt a bone is broken or its a fixed fracture at most. Now almost 48 hs swolen but kept it under ice, antiinflamators and in a made up fixation ligature since the closest hospt its 45km away its covid pandemic anddd i have to drive back to the city in a manual car...
I dropped a cuckoo clock on my right foot
Hi my son dropped a tower of canned food he was making to play with and the pain is so bad that I am having the worst dizziness along with it.
Who ever is looking this is rn is not having a good time
Yuh

Truth 😂
If you’re watching this video, I know why you’re here because it happened to me too.
Get well soon!
Thank you 💕
On workers comp right now 🤬
I took my shoe off too fast
Spot on! Slipped on a tray, 3 bones broken, dislocation 😬
Thx❤
It's amazing how badly you can hurt and not have a broken bone. I have a severely sprained ankle (swollen, bruised, can't move foot up/down, can't put pressure on it) but the xray says it's not broken. The human body really is held together by paperclips, rubber bands and duct tape
That's what I'm going through Wednesday will be 3 weeks since it happen I still can't move my ankle up or down still hurts. Very bad had it xray and said it's sprained both sides of my ankle and could be six weeks till I can put pressure on it ..how long did it take u to start putting pressure on your foot and also to start moving it up and down?
@@marcusmorrison7788 I ended up having surgery. The surgeon used a 'tight rope' to stabilize my ankle and tendons. It was 8 weeks after surgery that I had some range of motion, 3 months post surgery before I had full range of motion.
A really good physical therapist might be able to help if surgery isn't recommended.
@@royalladybug30 damm i got super lucky 2 yrs ago i tore a few tendons was a millimeter away from surgery
I too am struggling with a grade 3 sprained ankle, we should upgrade our skeletons to at least an early model T800 Terminator, although our self healing ability is already more like the liquid metal T1000 model, only not as resilient or flexible
I twisted my ankle and made a pop sound. First 2 days it was painfull 3rd day no more pain yet i can feel an instability on the outside portion.. No bruising when. It happened. I had to work with an ankle support on
I broke my ankle slipping in the bathroom. I literally heard it pop then I hit the floor. I immediately blacked out because the pain was sooooo intense. When I woke up I seen my foot turned a whole different way. The paramedic said oh it’s not broke it’s probably badly sprained 😒 sir my foot is crip walking on its own. It’s def broke. Ruined my whole girls trip. Now trying to get a good night sleep with a splint on it’s the absolute worst!!!! I hate it here 😩
lmao my foot is something , i just wanna amputate it, i jump in the water in the beach andjumped in a hole and sheeeeshhh it hurts
How tf is it sprained if it was- HA?
Not crip walking own it's on tho😂😂😂 I pray you're better now. I sprained my ankle 11 days ago and my foot is sore and swollen still. I can only walk on the outer edge of my foot.
thanks you actually helped. cause when i was skateboarding with my buddy i feel on my foots toes it was so painful i was laying on the ground and was howling from the pain and my foot was Swollen. i can move it but i cant stand or walk.
Crip walking on its own Im done!! 😂 but hope you’re doing better. 🙏🏽
Why does this dude sound like hes trying to yell at you ,but be quiet at the same time.
LMFAO
Its the same way the speak with children. Whispering and assertive. Not a big deal and done very often
This got me cracking up the whole video 😂😂
Soothing voice. Sounds a lot like Owen Wilson.
@@motogirlthailand 😂
Glad my sprained ankle heals after 3 weeks....95%, swollen is the longest part to go.
Glad you are doing well!
@Anna Mesecher it really depends on the severity of the injury to the ligaments and if there were other parts of the ankle injured like the bone, the tendon, or the nerve. I sprained my left ankle four weeks ago. I had minimal bruising but lots of pain. The ligaments have healed but I can’t walk for too long until it starts to hurt again. The x-ray showed no bone fracture so I suspect my tendon was also stretched or partially torn. Just make sure you go to the doctor if it doesn’t get better. If it hurts to walk, then use a walking boot or whatever helps. If you don’t have pain moving it, then try range of motion exercises (don’t move it too far in one direction, only move it as far as there is no pain). After it is healed then you can start working on strength and proprioception.
@@EagleMiner ur a god for writing that big comment in reply section and not In the comments section
I am just day 1 of swollen …need 3 weeks of swollen days ? lol
How long did it take till u started to walk, ive sprained mine 2 weeks ago and still cant walk or limp
I was hiking in the winter (February) of 2020 and my right ankle rolled really bad on the ice, the pain was like nothing I ever experienced, had to hobble back down a wooded hill and get in the car, adrenaline wore off and I felt like my skin was crawling...was hobbling for weeks, really bad bruising, couldn't even touch it without searing pain, could move the foot though little bit. Kept it in a brace from the drug store, was able to hike again in a few months, this was during covid so dr's visits were very limited...Wife was a huge help though, survived it!
Just sprained my ankle the other day playing basketball and I had to walk a mile and a half home. Worst pain of my life. Felt like crawling
US Army Airborne jumper here - had my first jump today. The jump & landing was nearly perfect. Literally landed in a small patch of 6 inch deep mud and it anchored my ankle as I landed breaking and fracturing my ankle. Going tomorrow for surgery 🙏🏾
how did it go
@@parisbyfrance the surgery was great! I’m able to walk perfectly fine, I’ll be able to perform legit PT in just a couple weeks.
@@KiingToxiicGaming I am so happy for you! I am glad you can walk perfectly fine!
Sprained my ankle going downstairs in the dark didn't see the last step thought it's the floor level. Next few moments my vision blurred and brain stopped I laid down flat while absorbing the impact.
Ouch, that is tough for sure! We really hope you feel better.
Just make sure to see a podiatrist in the future if your problem continues.
We really, really appreciate you as a fan and than you for watching!
@@DrTomBiernacki Thank you doctor, I'd like to know while following RICE, where to apply the ice directly on the swollen area or nearby? Also Is sitting under the sunlight with swollen part exposed any good or should avoid direct sunlight? where I live it's 26°C at day time. Thanks.
Sprained my ankle playing soccer today. I rolled on it and heard a pop. Was down on the ground for a minute, but got back up limping. Had it iced immediately and have been icing on and off. Not sure if I need to get it checked or not. The pain is not unbearable... what's unbearable is not being able to do all the physical activities desired.
th-cam.com/video/bkiRUlAfnZo/w-d-xo.html This video might help further!
Same thing happned to me but with Lacrosse I rolled my ankle and heard a pop now it hurts so bad I can’t even walk on the leg
Literally same thing happened to me yesterday. Game had judt started. Hoping its just a sprai
How long did it take to get better ?
@@thyluvkaiiidid you get better and how long did it take ?
I'm a skateboarder and it's pretty much an on and off thing w/ me tweaking my ankle. My first injury was a partial syndismotic tear 2 years ago. Since then I've tweaked the outside of that foot (EFL ?) three times. After 3 months it is usually fully healed... and of course I do specific exercises, try everything I can to prevent injury
Excellent! Its tough because in a sport like that its probably not easy wearing a brace or other supportive shoe/insole.
We have to be our own advocates and not stop, or ask someone that you can trust. I rolled my ankle inward as walking, recessed storm drain was the step down , thst I didnt expect. I've had it assessed Day 1and then at 3 weeks, it's now been 8 weeks and I don't have the dull pain but it's lingering soreness, tingling top of the foot, cold soles, and it seems like it slips out at the joint as I become weight bearing after the seated position. They only gave me ace bandage and at 3 week I got a soft brace....I feel that it wasn't enough...frustrated because I've helped so many people when they've been in my current position. Thank you for this comprehensive video. Filled in many holes that other videos simply don't cover.
You are a great fan, and we appreciate you Sarah, we hope you feel better soon!
If possible, we would appreciate a quick review from you, and these make a HUGE difference for us!

Got my ankle rolled playing football, it popped but I was able to walk off but it still hurts like crazy and has a lot of swelling
How are you now
Same thing here. Popped. Now swollen and severe pain.
I love your videos because I broke my ankle in 2 places that had surgery,and your videos help me understand more.I be in a boot in 3 weeks.
We hope we can make life a little easier for you!
Thanks for being a great fan and watching, hope you feel better soon!
When I broke and dislocated my ankle, the EMT kept trying to comfort me, telling me don't worry, it might no be broken... while my foot is on sideways after feeling and hearing POP! POP! like broomstick snapping in a wet towel and watching my foot turn 100°. Im like, dude... its broke, take my word 🤨
lol, the funniest moments is when you're in agonyzing pain but something funny happens that takes you for 1 second away from ot, like i got my collar bone snapped in half after trying a 360° jump kick in a kickboxing sparring session and i could not move my entire left arm and it was the type of pain that makes you dizzy .. and the guy i was sparring was like hoooly shit i told him "dude i definitely broke something " he was like "well to be fair you kinda impressed that girl over there" i asked him if shes still looking while laying on the floor with a broken collar bone then i looked over and he was talking about a girl i wasnt into anyways so i just turned back and resumed into being pain
Sprained my foot for the 3rd time while walking down an incline and I stepped off the curb wrong. It happened to fast (and I was holding my child when it happened too) that I'm not sure if it was an eversion or inversion sprain. The first 2 times was the typical inversion but this time the dorsal, medial, and only a little bit on the lateral side of my foot hurts. It was excruciating when it happened! I did get an x-ray and no break thank God. But I'm impatient and want it healed now lol
Were u on crutches?
Wondering how long it took to heal both feet here and 3 weeks later no significant changes They feel broken all over Hope you healed well
It happened to me today when I was going off the bus, didn’t see there were stairs, I was in such a rush to tap off the card and get off and this happened :( it hurts the pain is just excruciating and my foot is huge. They did x ray and seems like my foot is sprained and not broken but it hurts a lot 😭😭 I was given crutches and I wonder how long I’ll be unable to walk normally
Hi am watching this video because I landed wrong and herd a crunch come from my metatarsal bones of my foot it that a break or just the bones poping
I stepped funny on the sidewalk and rolled over the outside of my ankle. It was extremely painful, but I was able to sit for several minutes and then stand and walk carefully without pain. The next day though i can't stand at all though, it looks like I'd better go see someone. Good luck to everyone
Did you get it checked?
Hi sir

More of injury and re-injuring it:
Every few months (at least once a year) I'll step on an uneven surface and roll my ankle. It's also a pain that's there some days and gone others (when it's more painful on the ankle it clicks, but there is a more recurring dull pain on the side edge of the foot between the pinky toe and the ankle)
I have the exact same issue, did you ever get this checked?
@@conorbrennan5838 no. It hasn't flaired up in a long while and the only real problem I've been having recently is clicking ankles.
@@JosephSmith-lm4ri Hmmm OK... I injured mine years ago but it healed, then one day years later I got a massive pain and a clicking sound... Rested it for few hours and I could walk on it no problem and pain was gone.
But this happens every now and then ever since so maybe I am reinjuring it somehow? ... Its swollen atm and bit sore but I can walk on it carefully with little pain. Its just so wierd haha.
I found that if my foot is flexed in a certain direction for a long time then when I go to walk I could get the click sound and sharp pain. Need to rest for hours then before I can walk again.... Anyway I may get it checked by a doctor but its nice to hear someone else has similar issues so I'm not crazy, thanks John!
Wait ur ankle isnt supposed to click
Oh my God you’re freaking amazing. I literally just learn everything that I feel from this video and all these doctors that I’m going to paint all this money can’t even tell me what’s wrong with my foot. I’m over here on month number to suffering with steel, purple ankle and they can’t even tell me what’s wrong with it.😢
Thanks for the great response Rosa!
Good luck and let us know if we can somehow help more.
If possible, we would appreciate a quick and easy rating from you, and a good rating makes a BIG difference for us!

Thanks again for watching!
Walking from my classroom to a parent’s car. Fell in a pothole. Excruciating pain.
I got sprain in my right foot 1 month ago but it recovers and i can easily run and walk but when i used to sit on bed by putting my both legs bend after sometimes it hurts but recover after walking i think i have some minor injury in my foot
I sprained my ankle during soccer. The first hours I had so much pain, but I could still put a little light weight on it. Day 2 I started with taping my ankle/foot and bought a brace. Day 3 I've been able to walk easily with very little to no pain however i still cannot move my ankle left and right. There is brusing on both sides of my foot, small spots on tons and a small patch on the left side of the ankle bone. I can still move my toes and I can walk the stairs. Im guessing it's a Grade 1 tear but since its bruising im assuming is a grade 2. Don't think i need to go to the doctor as I feel little to no pain.
Similar to me. Were you able to eventually move your foot left and right?
I was playing basketball and went up for the usual layup but something was off about this one, I jumped too far horizontally instead of vertically. My immediate reaction mid air was to plant my left foot to stop myself but I was going so fast that my foot rolled when it landed and I remember looking down and watching my ankle go inverted with quite a bit of force. I was in excruciating pain before I even hit the ground. Thankfully I had enough adrenaline to walk off The court and drive home but once home, the adrenaline wore off and the pain forcefully convulsed through my body so much that I projectile vomited once I got out the car
Same exact thing happened to me
Just sprained mine playing basketball too. Landed on someone else’s foot. Can’t believe yours was that bad! Did it heal on its own?
The same happened to me,
With heavy swelling, doctors cannot tell its a fracture or sprain,
I got casting, and now I have to show again next week,
Hope It will not be a serious injury 🥴
Omg I had the urge to vomit too yesterday. I think I sprained my ankle because I can't move it up or down to much and if I put weight on it it hurts so bad.
@@sahildhapola_ how about your injury right now❓ and what happened❓ is it Sprain or fracture ❓
I've had a few fractures in my feet:
1. Avulsion fracture of lateral malleolus due to ankle being sprained when rolling it into a narrow channel - excruciatingly painful. I went straight to the hospital for that and into a moon boot for 8 weeks.
2. Spiral fracture of the 5th metatarsal, cracks in all other metatarsals and the two cuneiform bones - this occurred by a truck turning into the street I was crossing on foot. The driver mis-judged the distance between me and his truck as he tried to pass me. The truck's tyre caught the back of my lower leg resulting in these bones being broken. - 8 weeks in a cast.
OUCH, we hope you after recovering from those and show no further issues...
My experience is that most orthopods avoid surgery on small long-bones, probably because the likely complications of such reduction procedures become their problems, and are potentially(?) worse than those of passive treatments like splinting. I had a complex (compression (displaced 1/2"), spiral, & comminuted) fx of the 4th metacarpal, and my climbing partner had a similar fx of her 3rd metatarsal. We both get functional compartment syndrome during significant exertion of the surrounding muscles because these fractures made the bones significantly larger in diameter (from infill of the many loose pieces & calcium overgrowth), leaving less room for exercise induced muscle growth or for circulatory engorgement ("the pump"). The only effective response to the pain that we've found is extension, relaxation, & elevation, to encourage venous & lymph drainage, to allow as much volume as possible for arterial & capillary blood. (Easier for my hand than her foot.) Ironically, the better shape we're in, the more susceptible we are. I presume we will have to deal with this until we are so old our muscles start wasting away. Yours might be simpler, but I don't know how much functional 'spare' room there is, for even the overgrowth of a simple fx, much less several side-by-side like yours. So this hint might help. When it hurts, she lies on her back with her foot up high & toes pulled downward.
Mildly displaced 5th metatarsal fracture. Been in a walking boot for just over 8 week. I had xrays today. I was told the xray results wouldn't be back for at least a week!! :'( I am still non weight bearing! I had ankle surgery in 2014. I am concerned that I may need surgery and this treatment delay is causing further issues. Should I get a second opinion?
@@mrsmcg No X-ray results for at least a week??? That's a joke. Our medical system in Australia is far from perfect but X-ray results come back on the same day. Without an X-ray, how do you know the fracture is mildly displaced? Generally mild displacement is not usually a candidate for surgery. I'd push to get that X-ray.
@@AncoraImparoPiper the xray results from prompt care visit in August came back in 24 hours. This was a follow up visit with a podiatrist. I don't know if the front desk staff doesn't know any better. I will call them on Monday to see if they have the results. I have been non weight bearing for over 8 weeks, and I still have foot pain. I had ankle reconstruction in 2014.
I was doing pull-ups and the screw came loose. I fell on my back, couldn’t breathe for 20 seconds, i have a pain in my back when it’s touched; however, my right leg also got affected by the fall. The ankle seems to be hurting a lot. Does it mean that I can’t play sports in a week?
I landed primo on a skateboard with the arch of my foot straight on to the edge of the board yesterday. It doesn't hurt when I put all my weight on to my heel, however it hurts like a mofo when I put weight onto the sides of the foot. It is fairly swollen, but not as much as the photo in your video.
I had a bruise on the bottom of my foot, with swelling. But today i started getting blisters. It's that normal?
i as wondering if i should go to the doctor if my foot has a hole in it from a big metal spike but i can still wiggle all my toes with out pain.
A big hole from a spike probably would benefit from a doctor visit!
Go to the ED
Oh and I'd be interested in your opinion on the benefits of a healthy diet. I heard from other athletes that anti-inflammatory vs inflammatory foods can really make a difference
Thats definitely a detailed subject with entire books written about it!
But I don't think its an exaggeration to say that the right diet may be one of the single most important things to our health!
"Proper food is the best medicine." --Hippocrates?
I hit my upper foot against the table and it still hurts when I walk or even when I'm laying down after a month, i don't know if it's dangerous or if i should see a doctor
Walking from the living room to the kitchen!
Foot gave way, along with quite a loud crack. Excruciating pain.
Am in the uk, so was just referred to a nurse at my Dr's surgery.
Foot got a bit of bruising at the foot end of the toes, plus quite a bit of bruising underneath the foot, and on the arch.
Had a lot of swelling.
Nurse said she "thinks" I have torn my ligaments and broken some of my Phalange bones.
That's it, in the uk!
That's all you get!
No x-ray, no aftercare, no physiotherapy!
It's 7 weeks now, and it's still swelling, although not quite as much. It's not as painful on the top, and the bruising has gone, I can bend my toes up and down now, but it's STILL painful, especially under my arch and the sole of my foot.
Did you wear a cast?
I am Day 6 on a sprained ankle and it’s still swollen and bruised. I am so tired of hopping. Going to the washroom is the worst. I just want to be able to walk again. Hopefully soon :(

I torn a legitimate in my right ankle over 3 years ago just walking outside of my apartment. I called 911 first and then my mother. I thought that I broke my ankle but, it was just a bad sprained. It was really bruised all over the foot,ankle, and the heel. I wore a boot for a couple weeks. I was at my mother’s house during those 2 weeks. I glad that it wasn’t broken. I had a x-rays of that ankle. My mother was angry that the hospital didn’t call right away to see if the ankle was broken or not. I even had a broken ankle on my left ankle.
I was playing volleyball and when I jump I landed on the side of one of my feet and felt 3 pops while it bent. It’s been extremely swollen for two days now and it’s now pretty bruised(dark black and blue bruises) on the left side. I thought for sure it was sprained but now I’m a little worried it’s broken or fractured.
I felt the exact same thing
Can you please let me know what actually happens..Because my foot also turns black after 3days.
@@soumo58 it actually turned out to be a very bad sprain but before I got an X-ray the doctor thought it was for sure broken or at least fractured because of the the severe amount of bruising and swelling so if it’s really Black and blue then you probably wanna get it checked out.
@@emmareineke8606 Thanks mate... I was very worried... Can you please tell me how much time need to heal...Because I have pretty important match coming in 6 weeks.
@@soumo58 it’s took my about a month and a half to two months before I was ready to play again. I still have yo where an ankle brace when I play and my ankle still swells up and gets sore while I’m playing and working. Healing time could be different for you. You might have to wait and see how well you are doing. But by a month and a half you could possibly be ready to play.
Heal bouldering ( rock climbing) missed my crash pad. 2nd time was surfing, the board flipped and hit my foot. The next day my toes got black and blue and the top of my foot was hurt too.
Hey doc i twisted my right foot while coming down from stairs the swelling increased but less pain and no blood clots or redness should i consult a doctor?
Always check with a doctor if worried!
Hey man, I was playing football today and as I was running I was also thinking if I need to be defensive of offensive, and I just keep running and all of a sudden BAM I accidentally put my foot in a way that u would put it if u rolled it but I had all my weight and support on my single twisted foot, I came back home took a shower and wrapped a bandage around my ankle, it hurts in all the places where u have ur ankle ligaments, should I see a doctor or wait it out?
I just stepped off of a curb this morning while holding my 3 yo daughter. My ankle rolled out from under me and I fell to the ground. Don’t worry, she was perfectly fine. I heard a crackling sound. I can walk, but it’s a little painful on the left side. I can’t walk without a limp. I don’t think it’s broken, but it definitely hurts. I’m trying to figure out whether I need to go to the emergency room or not.😫
Sorry to hear about your injury how is your ankle doing now? I heard a popping sound while sprained my ankle but like you say I can jump walk without limping and Im working out every day like normal but after workout my ankle look little bit swelling but no pain and after 30 minutes swelling goes down.
how can I treat my ankle without going to the hospital? like a home treatment will do
I twisted my ankle 6 days ago while playing basketball, at first it was really painful and every time my foot touched something it would hurt a lot. It was also really swollen but everyday it’s getting better and i walk with a slight limp now, its still a little swollen but barely noticeable. Im pretty sure its nothing serious but should i go check it or is it not necessary?
How did everything turn out did you go get checked?
I felt down from the stairs... I literally felt over it in the toes zone. The part where toes starts is purple-black. I get a XR but there is not visible fracture 😅
Man your videos are awesome, I broke my fibula on my May 9 2020 jumping down 4 stairs on my skateboard (the trick i was trying is called a boneless ironically - switch front 180 boneless for all you skaters reading) landing on slightly uneven ground... I was landing with my right foot forward (goofy position, yes, that's really what its called... if you skate with your left foot forward is referred to as regular position fun fact) .. and my back foot missed the board so it was an out ward ankle roll (imagine a skater with the back foot dragging behind them off of the board) that ended up breaking my fibula on quite an angle. I was wearing a boot/ crutches for about 2 months.. since about July 15 I stopped using crutches, and slowly stopped wearing the boot as well but I havnt been using a brace.. it seems to be almost better but the area still seems to get get slightly swollen as my day progresses, then I put my foot up in the evening or wear my boot again overnight. The brace seems like a good idea. I am a drummer and the show must go on so i'm hoping drumming is helping strengthen it and not doing more damage. It was a decent break, been 3 months and 10 days now... does it sound like its healing properly? Theres no pain anymore except for when i put pressure just above the bump where the fibula meets your foot... so the fibula itself i guess, around the break site. I have to apply quite a bit of pressure and the pain is not severe. It just worries me that it is still swelling up a bit after so long. My entire job is walking all day (hospital porter) and id like to get back to work asap but I don't want to jump the gun and risk more damage. I know you can't give me medical advice but your perspective would be greatly valued
Didn't see a small step on a deck. Rolled my ankle and couldn't use foot at all. ER said "no obvious breaks".
Trying so hard to rest but i am climbing the walks. Got a knee crutch. Amazing product
Oops. I "hurt" my ankle while I was playing with my dog and goat. It didn't really hurt. In fact it was rather numb. No bruising initially so I assumed that it was a mild sprain. I am an athletic person who is always cycling and swimming. I went to work as a chef, the pain and swelling increasing every day for 12 days. Walking and weight-bearing becoming more difficult every day. Going to the doctor tomorrow and I am worried. My ankle is starting to deform. I am almost 50 years old and I can barely wear a sock now. Is it possible to break an ankle and not know it?
Yeah I’d get it checked out because it’s probably deep in your foot
I'm guessing you're all sorted by now, but 4 months ago I broke 3 bones in my ankle, foot was dislocated, and I didn't even realise it was broken until I looked and saw my foot out of it's socket. Very grateful that I didn't feel that!
Hello, I am not sure if I have torn or partially torn ligaments. The way I injured it: I played left defender in a soccer match and jumped forward with the right leg in front to stop a pass, the ball hit my heel and caused me to step sideways. I had trouble walking right away, after 30 min I put ice on it and after 3-4 hours I went to the pharmacy to get some gel to put on it. First pharmacy didn't have anything, second one did, both told me to go to the ER because of the size of the swelling, so I did - x-ray came out - no broken bones. On the second day the pain kicked in and I couldn't step on it anymore(previously there was no pain - just a weird feeling preventing me to walk faster[ like a numbing signal]) I got an ankle tightener. 4th day came the purple coloring(by now I've been hopping/using crutches) on the 5th day I started walking again (stopped icing and putting gel, but fearing to put much weight on the leg - speed of a really old person using a cane. aaaaand today is the 6th day.
I’m watching this because I don’t know if it’s a sprain or fracture. Happened about a week ago playing soccer, got challenged pretty bad and I black out from the pain. It’s currently day 5 or 6 idk but I can’t seem to put much pressure on it. It’s blue and purple and swollen red where the fibula ends. Yk that like little ball thingie on your ankle just right above that.
I missed a step on the stair case and twisted it and now the side of it hurts so what should I do
My parents said i sprained my ankle- I was trying to walk to school with a friend and i tripped and basically rolled over my ankle and foot... so im now at home trying to find ace bandage bc it hurts like hell to put any pressure or even turn it in anyway, yet im being told to walk on it 😹👌
They are telling you the right thing
@Thibot lol
thank you my bone was exposed and i didn't know whether it was a fracture or a sprain!!!!
Is it true having foot injuries can be easily attacked by gout or arthritis?
Some studies do suggest that already irritated, arthritic and sore areas can be more likely to have a gout attack.
I dropped a bed frame on my foot right where my toes meet the foot itself and after the third day it hurt worse than the first day, I'm on day four and am not sure what to do...
Was playing pickup at the park and went up to try and contest this guys shot and ended up lading wrong. My right leg touched the ground first and my shoe landed at an angle so I landed on my right ankle with all my weight. It’s currently swollen like crazy and I have multiple purple looking bruises on the sides. I can walk fine, but it’s definitely sore

It hurts so bad 😢...
Be safe!
Be careful!
( I'm 11 years old)
I sprained it and i cannot sleep at all 😢😢😢
Kicked a metal pole full force and cant walk on it directly but can walk on the sides without too much pain. Pretty swollen on the top half and can put a decent amount of pressure on it before it really hurts. Cant really bend the middle three toes too much without pain. No real color to my foot that isn’t on my other foot.
I was able to tell by the reaction in the emergency room and the fact my foot was floppy and I could not in any way at all stand on it. It was bad. Go and get an xray and find out for sure. Don't mess with it. If my children sprained an ankle, I got it checked out. If you sprain an ankle, you weaken it. It is then more liable to sprain or fracture, so if you have a recovered sprain, do ankle strengthening exercises and keep doing them.
So My navicular bone is popping out ,I’m limping , and it looks like a bee sting and what happens is that every 2 days the pain comes back like for example day 1 its fine then day 2 its pain and then it keeps happening what do you think it is?

I am 46. I have mobility issues, fibromyalgia, obese... Chronic illnesses basically.

I got an ambulance ride to the hospital. Nothing broken.
I do not think i have ever had a sprain this bad, ever. I do remember if i have, but i don't know.

Pretty easy haha.
Week 3 now from a double fracture, weight-bearing is getting better :)
This is the 2nd time I got injured. My left foot seems to turn inward unknown to me so when stand up, I fall. First time about 2 years ago doc said it was a real bad sprang. Last night, I didn't have treatment . Doung ice, elevation, and rest throughout the weekend and then I will re-evaluate.
Hurt my foot by slipping, falling, bending Toe back, completely falling to the floor.
Hurts in toe, slightly purple. Hurts to walk,..in the Arch area up to ankle.
I figure it's a strain, but my ankle is definitely popping a lot more then it used to as well.
Pain is worse after use and limping.
Me too.
A large dog knocked me down in full speed. I now have a rod and screws in the leg. However no one bothered to look at my ankle injury. I’m at 6 weeks since surgery and still can’t put much weight on my foot. Ouch
no my little brother did not throw something at me he elbowed my ANKLE!! 😭😭

I hurt my ankle while playing basketball. I stepped on someone's foot and it was too painful. My foot was swelling and turned purple a few days later. After two months I still have some swelling but at least I'm back to the court and also doing my regular activities.

this is how I got my foot hurt, so my mom picked me up from school and when I went down to go inside the house I didn’t know my mom didn’t stop the car so I went down and the tire ran over my foot, it was stuck there for like 1 minute but after my mom reversed a little I was free luckily it was only the edge of my foot but I had a huge bump there
Please sir,
I had a ankle injury 2 years back, I consulted more than 5 doctors, x-ray mri ct neuro test.. I have done all but no use..they all say my leg is perfectly fine. I think the main reason was in normal situation I don't feel any pain, I feel it only when I do some serious exercise. so when the doctor twist and turn my ankle to check I don't feel any pain.
I was playing badminton (for the first time in a wooden court) and I felt a small pain in my right ankle when I reached out (in some what a full extended lunges position) to the shuttle. I continued playing for some 2..3..mins when sudden I felt serious pain i the ankle. Veins and all were like swollen up.. was not able to walk for free mins.. at that time upward motion of the ankle was okay but when I tried downward motion, the pain increased.
With in 10 to 15mins all felt normal but it was not.. stopped playing serious badminton, football.. I can jog but I can't sprint.
If I put my right leg flat and try to bring the knee forward I feel a high pain all around the foot.. not just in the front but in the sides also, around the balls.( With one hand if try to grab the ankle from front, I feel pain from Intex finger to thumb line )
Could you please tell me what causing this pain and suggest some solution 🙏🏼
So this is definitely not a diagnosis and always check with your doctor before any treatment but its always important to make sure flexibility is equal for the foot and there is not a contracture following a chronic injury. This can lead to ball of the foot overload the dorsal Midfoot compression syndrome. The #1 cause of chronic pain following an injury that we see is unresolved tightness in active people leading to many problems during high activity load.
I slipped on a plastic folder my wonderful child left on the floor. I landed sitting on my foot, it being sideways and crushed between my fat butt and the floor, which is just a concrete slab with vinyl over it. I went into shock, which made me think I was having a heart attack and about to die 🤣. It hurts pretty bad, but I can walk on it, so I’m gonna go with hoping it’s ok 😬
It should be fine

Oh joy, I’m back!! This time I tripped over my adorable little dog and cannot bare any weight at all. Thank goodness she’s so darn cute 🐶, can’t even get mad at her for always being at my feet. ER says it’s not broken, but said it looks slightly dislocated 🤔, and just a sprain. I can’t put any weight on it. I guess I’ll give it a couple days, and hope it gets better, before I start the battle with my doctor to get a referral 😒
I was walking my dog and he took off after some birds. Unbeknownst to me my left foot was on some small rocks and he pulled me off a curb and I ended up rolling my foot at a 90d angle. Now, my foot looks worse than any example in this video. The the foot is swollen and toes are purple, as is the right and left sides and heel. I’ve been to urgent care and the x-rays show no fracture, in fact they are normal. I can stand on it without any pain, I can walk gently. Looking at it the doctor says it looks broken but it’s not behaving broken (and X-rays are good). So, urgent care is not concerned and I’m not in pain (for the most part)…but it REALLY looks bad. When should I be concerned? Also, I’m flying to Dubai in 10 days…safe to fly long haul? I welcome answers from anyone
Your foot sounded sane as mine however I injured my ankle a month ago and it still fairly painful I’m only just beginning to walk a little on it
@@TASIAawful1 it’s been about 9 nine days and I’m making progress. Still some light swelling and I need to take stairs with caution…unfortunately, I live in a townhouse with 3 floors. One odd thing…my entire leg makes cracking sounds for about the first 30 minutes after waking up. All my best for your recovery…I can relate, it’s awful.
Twisted playing soccer, needed two friends to help because on the first moment I couldn't putvweight on it, but after some minutes I already could put weight on it, but it still hurts a little
Stairs are still hard 2 weeks later but getting better everyday especially when I can keep off it on my days off and try to take it easier
I am a teacher and sprained my ankle a year ago while coming down the stairs. Xray showed no fracture but MRI showed inflammatory synovitis with mild ankle joint effusion. I had no option to quit the job at that time, so I took no rest and kept working all days. I used to get cramps and pain while standing, walking, climbing stairs and swelling by the end of the day. The injury became more serious and I had to quit the job. It's been almost 2 months now I have been resting at home. But still I can't walk properly and my ankle shows stiffness, redness, swelling and burning pain. I can climb the stairs but can't go down the stairs easily. It really hurts. I feel hopeless and helpless thinking that my ankle has been permanently damaged. Not understanding what to do....totaly fed up now.☹️😫

Same here
I fell off the main deck of a cargo plane and when I landed on my feet, I rolled my ankle and felt a “crunch” feeling. My right the inside of my right ankle was black, purple and blue. I thought it was just another sprain so I decided to treat it at home. Wear an ankle brace, elevate my foot, etc.
But for some odd reason, it still hurts.
when I sleep and my foot twitches, the pain shoots back up as if, I sprained it again.
The incident occurred in February, it’s now June.
Uhhh that’s definitely not a sprain
I got my foot caught in a rotating shaft on a machine and it was trying to wrap my foot around the shaft. The shaft was on top of my foot pulling my foot under and around it. A pin holding a coupler together on the shaft started digging into the top of my foot that's when I felt a bunch of pops and felt like something in the arch tore. Cat scan shows 4 fractures but I need to go to an orthopedic Dr. For an mri. The injury occurred 1 week ago and the earliest I can see a Dr will be another 3 days. I hope I won't need surgery.
It’s 7 months in and I’ve seen 6 doctors who’ve told me to just let it heal. What the hell is going on, even when you do seek help doctors don’t listen. I have now seen a specialist who says it’s a bone bruise/ bone dent. I’ve had to stop doing exercise now, I’m so afraid of my ankle degrading and that it’s been neglected for too long. The pain has totally changed my quality of life, I tried so many times to get help, is it too late to save my ankle? I’m highly active with hiking and dancing
After surgery, a young intern made my cast so long that I couldn't bend my leg while driving so I had to pull the seat back all the way.
I commented on another video that was old, but as I was saying. I rolled my ankle and it feels like a ligament is torn. It only hurts when I walk. What should I do. And what did I do exactly...
We appreciate the comment it it is difficult to say without a further examination, hope you feel better soon!
You just saved my foot thanks repscet dude new sub
Edit:am getting my foot checked up I have 3 of the same signs
I have a fracture at my fifth metatarsal. I've been in a cast for two weeks now... i saw my foot propoerly during the xray, and i notice a very very apparent purple vein near the area of injury. What does this mean?😢
I got caught in a toe hold in brazilian jiujitsu and it was nothing at first, then suddenly my whole foot gave way and turned much farther than it should have. There was a loud crunching crack and then it turned. However when he let go of my foot, there was no bruising, my foot felt fine and had full range of motion. It wasn't until the next day that the soreness started. It's been almost two weeks now and it's still an on/off soreness. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. So I don't think anything is broken, but definitely got strained. The loud crack we heard I believe was just my joint cracking like when you crack your knuckles.
I'm not sure what to do about it other than just give it time to heal up.
I twisted and broke my ankle in a roller skating accident 18 years ago. It's finally starting to heal. The doctor put in a plate and screws on the outside of my ankle. He even bragged about saving money by not using titanium. Titanium is expensive.The skin wound shrunk to probably 1 1/2 inch across. The pain is mostly gone but still swollen. I wear lace up shoes to accommodate the size difference between my feet.
I do demolition work and A peace of heavy metal fell on the lower knuckle part of my big toe. It hurts when I try to walk ( I can put absolutely no weight down on it!) It has swelled up and it's extremely painful. What kind of injury would you say this is?
After i watch the video i know whats wrong with my foot thank you its great.
My ligaments are pretty painful and my ankle has swelled up slightly. When I hurt it I heard cracking is that normal?
Did your ankle popped like it was dislocated every time you took a step?
I sprained my ankle last 2 years ago. Until now i feel the pain. Thats crazy.
I couldn’t tell after a bad motorcycle crash. Tons of black and blue bruising and swelling. Didn’t feel broke, but just stayed off it for two weeks. Luckily I’m back on it and back to work with a boot. Seems to be getting back to to normal.
Anyone wear 3”wedges and flipped sideway and fracture bone on right side of right foot. Did not need surgery Dr orthopedic said to wear compressed boot. The boot hurts the side of my right side of foot. 3 days after fracture.

This is happening to me right now, the boot is hurting both sides of my foot even when I have socks on.😭
So I can move my foot up and down but I rolled it and as I rolled it I heard three loud crunches. Only on the outward of the foot it's a little swollen and hurts.
Just broke my ankle doing backflip 1080 on trampoline. Ive done it 1000 times but this time wasnt one.
I twisted when I was dancing at my school dance it hurts and when I turn my foot to the left it hurts
Stiff not bemd properly after long casting and after the surgery of my tibia and fibula
I’m a gymnast and my coaches think I sprained my ankle today when I inverted it I think, I’m able to walk with a limp but I have not seen any swelling or bruising, I have tape on what else shoul I do ??
i sat on a rock and then when i did,it rolled,i fell and when i stood up i suddenly felt pain,i dont know if its broken or dislocated,this happened yesterday and its still painful
Hello @DrTomBiernacki,
I broke my ankle at work. I work At Great America which is an Amusement park by my house and I work in Foods and I was grabbing a Mustard Pump like my boss asked me too and I ended up slipping on the steps and I ended up breaking my left ankle in two places. My ankle is still Swollen, Bruised and deformed. Does that require surgery?
I slipped on ice and injured my left foot about 6 days ago - in fact, I slipped twice in a row - and I struggled to walk right after that, and had some lingering pain in it even when I lay still in bed that night.
I have however seen gradual improvements since then, and I recently walked to the supermarket next to my university, which is at a walking distance of about 20 minutes away, and I could walk _almost_ as fast as I usually do, with a little bit of a limp.
The only pain that I experience is around my Achilles heel if I put a lot of sudden pressure on it, which is basically why I walk with a limp (I can put bodyweight on it, I am just careful to not do it too much), but apart from that, I am pretty much fine, and I don't see any swelling or any deformations or anything like that.
