car wreck it's been three years and I still can't put alot of pressure on it , run or etc. I fractured in 3places and I swear some days I wish I could cut it off to get rid of the pain.
I fell down the stairs
Had an offroad motorcycle fall and 260kg bike landed on my foot cracking medial and middle cuneiform.
I stepped of a bus and it was a big drop to floor I twisted my foot right under and broke my little toe half way down my foot
I’m 65 yr. old woman & was trying to save money by doing my own yard work. Small yard but there are steep banks, so I’ve been using crampons (like hikers use) while weed whacking. The other day I overestimated myself & took a tumble. Fractured 5th metatarsal. It’s hard getting older & having to admit I can’t do what I used to do.
Guy cut me off on the way to work, made me drop my sporty and hit my metatarsal on my break peg hard enough to cause a small microfracture upon rolling and landing back on my feet just to collapse immediately to the pain on my foot. Been healing for over a month and took all the steps prior to even watching this video due to my experiences in life and in the military. No joke that this small injury does take a long time. If anybody is going through a foot injury, please take it slow. I'd rather sacrifice half a year of embarrassment and small inconveniences than to never walk normally again.
Thank you so much for this wealth of information! I recently broke my foot (left, 5th metatarsal) by stepping on a pine cone at work *insert face palm* I was shocked because I'm 28 and have never had an injury. My ankle and foot rolled all the way to the side, and I heard a crack that sounded like a empty water bottle being squished. I have learned more with you here than I did at the hospital during my intake and follow up appointments.
How long did it take to heal im currently going thru the same thing
@@youngmoola31 prayers up for you! It took me the full 8 weeks to not need crutches or the scooter. Then shortly after that, I was able to wear a shoe again but with a brace. This happened in March 29, 2021. But June, I felt my foot and ankle was strong enough to walk in just my shoe. I did 6 weeks of physical therapy and that really helped. My healing was slow, thought. If you can, please stay home as long as possible take calcium and Vitamin D, and eat healthy. Do you stretches and workouts when you sitting down watching TV or on your laptop.
@PopYogurt I’m recovering! Although my progress was slow, I’m walking good, now and I don’t wear a brace h less I go to the gym, just to be safe. The strength in my foot is not 100% but it’s so much better. Physical therapy helped and also just staying off it and allowing myself time to heal, making sure I took calcium and Vitamin D.
@Wryan Arielle- I just broke the exact same bone last week!! But I’m 61 years old and in good health and this is just crazy! I’ve never broken a bone either til this. The recovery time I’m reading about is insane! But I don’t think my boss understands, lol! Ugh…. So frustrating to have done this. Glad you are healing, however slowly it may be. 🙏🏻
😱I broke my toes playing freeze tag with my kid at the park. Never broke a bone in my life. I'm 30. 😪
I fell down the stairs two weeks ago and broke the 4th and 5th metatarsals of my left foot. We went to the ER within an hour and I’m so glad we did. Recovery is going well, but having my foot in the down position is exhausting! After 10-20 minutes, I need to put it up again. My endurance in terms of pain and energy is getting better every day.
Jones fracture of the 5th metatarsal, right foot so no driving and no weight bearing. I had just left the office after my last day on the job, walking 10 feet to my car on a perfectly flat, smooth, clean office park sidewalk. My foot rolled for no particular reason that I can recall and I heard a loud pop. Seven weeks in, using an all-terrain knee scooter that I rented for $70/month at a local medical supply place (about 1/2 the cost of buying the same model and I didn't have to put it together). I use a walker in the shower to stay steady. Boot when out and about. I live alone off-grid, so this has been a challenging and isolating 2 months, but hoping I can drive again soon. I did get a bone stimulator through insurance (I just started a new job with new health insurance, so it costs me my entire $2000 annual deductible). My doctor thinks they really help, I am not sure... could be a very expensive placebo. Wishing all who are in the same boat speedy and smooth healing! You got this!
Tripped on the stairs and twisted my ankle. Heard that sort of ripping noise and knew I’d need to go to urgent care. Broken ankle and 5th metatarsal. Thanks for all this information especially the reminder to prioritize self care.
I dropped something really heavy on my right foot at work 10 weeks ago and broke the 5th metatarsal into several pieces and it was an open fracture with the impact creating a hole half way through my foot. Had ORIF surgery and I’m walking and driving already so I’m very fortunate and happy about it. The first couple of weeks were horrible, a lot of pain at night and I constantly had to keep my foot up because every time blood started pooling into it, it would start hurting like hell.
Thank you for such a detailed video! I love how much information you provided, it was exactly what I was looking for. ❤
This is so helpful, especially the info. about the boot, orthotic, and shoes. I have a minor calcaneus fracture from a fall while rock climbing. Made a mistake. ☹ Fortunately does not need surgery. Love this channel. Thank you!
Broke my navicular bone and dislocated too, thanks for the information! I was prepared if my foot won’t work normal anymore, I'm hopeful if I keep to the basics and be careful I can do it! Wish me luck on the surgery in 3 days
Absolutely amazing advices. You sir are great! You helped me a lot. Thank you! I’m two more days in a cast after broken lateralis malleolus. Wish me luck. 😀
I broke my first metatarsal last Friday as a result of a hoverboard/ Segway-Ninebot s malfunction. The hoverboard was going 7-10 MPH and it decided on its own that it wanted to go to the right on a straight path. I had little time to respond and ended up landing left toe first. I got my boot today and will be in it for the next 6 weeks.

I am a female and 43 years old. I have a trimalleolar fracture and had an ORIF. I am now 5 weeks post op and was placed in a walking boot today! Now the story of how I broke it...Wish I had much cooler story but here goes. I t was raining and had slick soled shoes on and slipped in the mudd... It has been a life changing event, but I am making improvements everyday. ThNk you for your videos. They have been very helpful.
I broke my Foot a couple days ago and I’m so upset finding out that it could take up to a year to fully recover! 😔 so many useful tips
I broke mine 2 days ago even had a surgery yesterday and I feel you! Healing will take a real long time until we can move as usual
We gonna have a hard time, but we got this!!
I broke my foot in the summer and was in a boot for 7 weeks. I was “healed” but I tripped the other day and reagravated the break and now I’m back in a boot. The foot is very sensitive for up to a year. It’s so upsetting
@@jennifercomtois6618 oh no! Hopefully I’ll be out of my boot in the next few weeks. The worst is not driving cuz it’s my right foot 🦶🏼
@@azucenavarin4504 oh that’s a shame! Yea mines my left so I guess I’m thankful for that. Since you’re on week 3ish now I’m sure you’re getting around much better. I know by week 3 for me I was walking and then by week 4 and 5 I was pretty independent. Going down stairs like the boot was a second foot
@@jennifercomtois6618 yes! As of this week I don’t really need crutches anymore. getting there !! 😃
Thank you so much for providing such thorough information. I slipped at home 3 weeks ago and didnt realize it until later in the evening because I have neuropathy and have injured my foot and leg multiple times. This was the last thing I needed however with our Medicare system being terribly exhausted! I walked out of the hospital on my injured foot for a few days before getting fitted with a proper boot! And after seeing the doctor the only thing he said was to continue wearing the boot for another 3 weeks followed by a few sessions of physio! No follow up, no need for further examination! Meanwhile you just gave us 25 tips and things to do to help heal the affected areas of the foot. Thanks again 🙏
How many days had you been walking on your injured foot before you got to the hospital? Also, did the hospital do Xrays and diagnose you with fractures? I hope you're doing much better now! I've been in a fracture walking boot for 5 weeks after breaking 2-4 Metatarsal bones.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Great information. Any videos for multiple fractures? I was in car accident on March 15 almost 2 months ago I broke 2 wrist and 3 toes on my left foot. Any advice will be helpful. I have arthritis too. I am 49 and scar to not be able to work .
Best advice. Thanks

I fractured my foot skateboarding last Friday. I rolled my foot sideways and initially thought I had just rolled my ankle which I've done countless times in 14 years of skating. apparently I fractured my cuboid bone (the one right above the fifth metatarsal) the next morning my ankle and foot showed no outward symptoms of injury but I literally couldnt put one pound of weight on it. got an x ray and its a pretty clean fracture right through it, almost snapped in half but not quite. biggest takeaway is "listen to your body" highlighted both by the way I injured myself (had worked 8 hours, skated for almost three, should have gone home and lived to fight another day) and the morning after though I saw no outward symptoms, the pain was inordinate for what I thought had happened.
thanks for all the info Doc, very helpful
Thanks for the informative video. I broke my 5th metatarsal bone in the mid shaft and it’s been two weeks . I tried walking With the boot but it still hurts. I have a knee scooter which is v helpful but could you pls advise if we can put some weight or it has to be zero weight bearing ..thanks so much .
Wow needed this

So much good, relevant information in such a pleasant, upbeat presentation. Broken 5th metatarsal after rolling my ankle ... boot for 6 weeks, and plan to be back with my daily 4 - 7 mile walks and regular hot yoga practice as mindfully as possible. Blessings and thanks "Dr. Foot".
Fractured my left medial base, 2nd proximal phalanx. One doctor recommends boots while another recommends no cast. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Fell down my stairs again, broke 5th metatarsal an open break, couldn't wear a boot, it hurt too much vs no pain without boot. Stayed off my foot for 4 weeks on crutches, doctor said it is healing well and stay off for another 3 weeks. I appreciate the exra info to keep me from re-injurying.
Thanks for watching and we hope you feel better soon! I am really sorry to hear about your unfortunate accident.

Caught the outside of my left foot on the rug - fracture plus bad sprain. I have nerve damage in my left foot from previous brain tumor surgery and don't catch myself when I stumble and this has been my third fracture.
I broke my foot walking on my lawn, walking the same path I did 100 times before.
Didn't check my footing as I was in a hurry and just walked in a smallish hole and the foot flipped.
At first, I thought I just sprained it. But I couldn't walk on my foot and something was loose, and it was colorful and huge.
Turns out I ripped some tendons and broke a bone.
I was surprised, a 30 years old in shape guy could break something so easily.
Broke my ankle-chip fracture and my foot-fracture going up into the joint on right foot, far right side, Slipped off a curb, due to wet leaves under dry ones, leaves hiding the true edge of the curb. I knew it, as soon as I heard that snap. It is truly amazing what the brain will do to your recollection of time when you feel that level of pain. No wonder, and mercifully so, burn patients pass out.
Broke my foot two days ago during exercise - jogging on the deck, had a bad twist and bam - broken foot, so much pain. I’m a bit lost now as I exercise and run daily, not sure how I will survive this, but thank you for your video and tips, it helps.
How long did recovery take?
Thank you so much! I recently broke my left (3 middle metatarsals) in a car accident, I have pins in my foot that will be removed tomorrow. This video really helped.
Wow, we appreciate the kind words and your watching. We hope your metatarsals get better FAST!

I have a trimalleolar fracture with a linsfranc injury. I want to know if having an injury on my foot and ankle take longer to heal than if it was just one injury?
Love your channel! I dislocated my ankle and broke it in three places due to a bike accident (was a few meters away from the finish line of a charity Navy ride - huge bummer...). Had surgery a week and a half ago - am in a cast for now - follow-up next week with the surgeon. Thank you for all your tips and information - and your way of presenting this (professional and fun) :)

What kind of orthotic should I get for my walking boot? A flat type or one with arch support? I have a broken metatarsal.
Thank you Doc. and with all the comments I don't feel so alone. I am in my fifth week of #three toe fracture. (Xray report says goes into MTP joint & 2nd toe fracture also, but my Doctor says after looking at other xray angle it's just #3 near the top ) Doing all the right things I hope. This is scary going from fully active to keeping weight off so it will heal. Trying to be positive and will not rush healing.

Hello, great video, thanks!
What are your thoughts on using a Tens Unit on a foot with a lower fractured 5th metatarsal? Good idea, bad idea? Is there a time frame to start using it? Suggestions on placing the pads?
Microcurrent is better. Alpha-Stim
I have a pain under my big tow where the under foot part is a bit round...there...it hurts like 2 months now I do not recall doing anything crazy for it to happen or a pain at any movement it just started hurting at home and now hurts when I apply pressure at that spot under the fat tow foot part
I sustained a comminuted fracture of my calcaneous and talus rock climbing at my local YMCA about 2 months ago. I fell about 15 ft and the front of my foot landed only halfway on the mat. The next day I had percutaneous emergency surgery and 4 screws in the heel.
Thank u🙏💐

Mine happened while working on a back injury with a new kinesiologist who didn't know what she was doing and didn't stop exersise when I said I was feeling a lot of pressure on the side of my foot. Kept getting me to do even more squats with my flat feet.

When I was 6 I broke 4 of my meditarsals when I fell on it after falling on a scooter. (I was barefoot and going into a knee slide I guess my foot was perpendicular to my body and I sat on it while falling) fast forward to now I have a bad bunion, 2 of my toes are underdeveloped, probably the meditarsels too, and one of them protrudes a bit out the bottom. Whenever I go on those pressure point/weight distribution scanners it looks like I'm standing on a tripod. All pressure focused on the bunion, the protruding bone on the opposite side, and my heel.
Would foot surgery make it any better at this point? It's 20 years later.
Great video.. Haven't been to the doc yet, pretty sure I just sprained my mid toes knuckles since it's mainly the joints that hurt, and in the morning I feel a sharp pain back to the heel if I don't step very carefully, maybe I tore something... No bruising very minimal swelling at the joints. I was walking wearing a pair of low quality slippers in the yard when side step ripped the outer edge loose and sort of rolled the edge of my foot over, should have put on real shoes... Anyway, thought I'd share.. Thank you for the info..🤕
I have both left and right bilateral calcaneus fractures and fractured my L7 in my spine. They did surgery on the right (12 screws 1 plate) and said left was non operable. I have follow up with my ortho and neurologist...but what can I do in the meantime to not make it worse what can I do? To at least be able to use the bathroom and shower (I have splint on Cannot get wet and stitches come out in 4 days). I'm non weight bearing as of now surgery was only about a week and a half ago. Injury happened about 20 days ago.
I dropped a nam co on my two weeks on and I'm still in pain and I've got to go to
Fell while trying to get to my seat at a Ringo Starr concert. 2nd 3rd and 4th metatarsal fractures. Not much direction from ortho. I have a boot and was full weight bearing on day 2. But no follow-up at all so your video is helpful.
So sorry! I just broke my 2nd, 3rd and 4th Metatarsals also, acute fractures. I've been in the walking boot for 5 weeks now. My back is starting to really hurt from the unevenness of wearing the boot -- even though I wore an EvenUp shoe lift on the good foot. How long do you have to wear the boot? The heaviness of it puts too much pressure on the very swollen, painful area on the top of my forefoot where the fractures are. Why didn't your dr want to follow up with you? Did they give you any instructions about how long to wear the boot and when to wean out of it? You really need follow up evaluations regularly!
Fell off a kitchen chair two days ago climbing to reach a top shelf. Displaced fracture of the fifth metatarsal in two places. Otho appt today. I'm 65. Will this take longer to heal than for a younger person?
Hi
I snapped my second,third and fourth metatarsals by dropping a large engineering tool in its carry case on the top of my foot, four inches back from the second toe in on my right foot.
My toes and front of my foot were resting on a piece of four by two wood with my heel on floor back when the object landed. I’ve thirteen screws and three plates fitted on the first of November. I went back to work three weeks ago but have been getting loads of pain in the arch of my foot. Could you please give me some advice.
I live in the UK and have had no physio because of Covid-19
Any help would be much appreciated
Thank you
Matt
hi , i broke my 4th metatarsal and im at weeks 2, i dont feel any pain and no more swelling on my skin, is that mean i can heal quicker ?
After removing cast(3 weeks from fracture), lwhen can I start streching excercises? Or what are the excercises recommended during this period. My doctor recommended me heel walking.. but Im uncomfortable while walking.
I broke my 5th metatarsal 5 weeks ago I had plates fixed to it I haven’t walk on it yet but wondering when I will be able to walk on it as I am working I need to drive and walk around is it safe to walk on in after 6 weeks or not after the surgery??? Thank you for the informations❤️
kicking arses… good stuff doc!
Motorcycle accident here..
left side 5th metatarsal
#1 tip: do not underestimate the time it will take to heal yourself..
I'm 3 months in and still in a lot of pain because I couldn't stop going to work.. not worth it guys, heal yourself properly, take all the time it takes and do the physical therapy..
same injury (and reason) here. take care!
Really needed to hear this!
I have an avulsion fracture from dropping a dirt bike off of a stand onto myself. I didn't know that the suspension bolt was not in the bike and it fell as soon as I moved it and got under it to try and lift it back into place.
Great!!!

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

Wearing a boot for that long is exhausting. Hope you're doing much better now.
@sl2608 Yes, thank you! I learned to ask for help in the process, as well!
One day I had really bad calf muscle pain that night while I slept it went completely away. Could it have been a blood clot that broke down and cleared on its own?
Very informative video!! I also like ur sense of humor! How I hurt my foot was going snow tubing in Utah, on vacation. When I got back I worked for a week in pain and then went to the Daytona500 bc I got free tickets and Amazing seats. I went to work and had to close...I could barely walk and was in tears and finally went to the ER. Sadly not been able to work for almost a month. I work on my feet!!😣 My 3rd metatarsal is slightly fractured..not taking care of it right away put more pain and stress on it.
I hope and pray to heal quick!! Thank u for this video!! 😊💜

I feel your pain. It didn't seem so bad at first but 8 weeks later I am just over it and want it gone. So frustrating 😫
Best video on broken foot or toe I've found! Thank you!
I broke my big toe by falling on my bottom. I know, I have no idea how that breaks a toe....😢

Hi, great video and content. You suggested that bone stimulators are only recommended for athletes. Will they help athletes heal faster?
Wow we really appreciate the kind words. great feedback like this is what really keeps us working hard to make better and more meaningful content. Healing quicker can be tough for anyone, generally we recommend protect it until fully healed.

I hurt my foot 2 days ago. I was moving a record console onto my trailer. I slipped on the ramp holding the heavy console and my foot bent in half. Ouch! iced it. elevated it all night. Had to work the next day which was really slow moving. It feels better today but taking it easy and wrapped it.
How long does it take to get a stress fracture on my foot get better?
I am wearing a boat right now
She has given me 2 weeks so after the boat is off how will I know my foot has healed
The fracture came out of now where maybe something at my work out class caused it
I got most of questions answered, thank you so much. It is really very helpful and informative.
I am 51. And I am still in a process of healing but have lot of queries. I had a road accident on March 3, 2022. I was hit by a taxi and it's tyre just happened to roll over the part of my right foot.
During the time of collision, the pain was too intense and burning and I couldn't stand my right foot. I didn't realize that my foot had fractured until I was rushed to emergency room in a nearby hospital by the traffic police, of course in the same car that hit me! An x-ray revealed that I had 2nd, 3rd and 4th metatarsals broken! I was put an L-shaped cast for 5 weeks. I used crochet for walking. I got my cast removed on April 4. Now I am walking, however, I feel it's not like a normal walk, I feel my right foot being locked.
I haven't started any physiotherapy but doing some exercises myself following TH-cam videos.
Now the stretching exercises you have shared within us are going to be really helpful.
Is it fine if I do exercises myself at home or is it advisable to do physiotherapy?
Anticipating your positive response.
I also got hit by a car and the tire went over and broke my foot , except they did not stop and I am in another country , working. I just got out of the cast and now in the walking boot . How long did it take for you to walk normally again ? The accident was about 6 weeks ago
I was hit by a car as well on my birthday March 11 2023 and my foot was broken. I hope you feel better soon . I feel much better now but it’s been difficult physically but also mentally I am having panic attacks and other issues from the trauma of the accident.
Thank you so much you helped me a lot! The information was simple and useful :)
I broke my leg after doing a gymnastics backflip (layout) and landed on the side of my foot, at a trampoline park.

Shit I just broke my foot doing the same thing
Thankyou for such a great video! Do you recommend sleeping in the boot? How long should I be non-weight bareing for?
We appreciate you watching! In order for offloading I usually start with a good shoe, good premade insole after coming out of the boot as that removes pressure as well. the best answer is unfortunately until it heals which could differ, this is where a doctor comes in 🙂

I was on the 3rd or 4th rung of a ladder pruning my avocado tree. The ladder was well grounded and things looked pretty safe. I was about to start the cutting with my awesome chargeable reciprocal saw, but i decided to set the saw up on the wall and pull some smaller branches out of the way. I'm 80 so I'm more careful about ladders and saws. I took a hold of another annoying branch and pried it to the side and then it snapped and I was thrown back from the rebound. I landed on my left heel in a bed of cobbles (3-6 inch rocks). I think maybe tying myself loosely to the tree trunk would have been helpful. Also I think doing work with ladders and saws should be done when one is not tired. I spent about an hour working out and then I had been moving rocks and pruning for a couple hours before I started what was the most dangerous work. So I got an x-ray and it showed a "minimally displaced break of the lateral malleolus." I had a soft cast for 11 days and now I have a high boot. All the info in this video is fantastic. My doctor gave me about 5% of this. I'm using my mom's fancy walker to get around. It is terrific. It has brakes and an under the seat basket and i put the knee of my bad leg on the padded seat and push around with the right foot. I eat a perfect diet and have been doing some weight lifting and sit ups. I have one of those massage sticks and will try it out tomorrow when I go out in the sun. One thing I would suggest is to keep a large mason jar with a lid by your bed so you can pee in that at night and don't fall trying to get around in the dark. I actually had that happen. There are so many little things to help out like putting all your cleaning and toiletry articles out in one place.
I hope everything is fine now sir.
I have a broken foot and I’m 3 months in and feel about 70% better like he said. No more pain at night, most the swelling is gone, I can put a shoe on without any pain at all. I can put standing weight on it but not walking weight and it’s very discouraging
was yours a Jones fracture. i am 2mth and stil cant put weight on it
Me too,, it’s almost 3 months to the day that I got hit by a car and they broke my foot and I feel so much better. Sure there is some pain and I have some flexibility issues and balance issues but I am continuing the physical therapy and it’s so much better than a month ago even . I am glad i watched this video when it happened as it gave me hope.
@sarahgordon2597 same moon boot for two weeks, plaster cast for 6 weeks, moon boot again for 6 weeks then we will see.
Mine is 5th metatarsal base zone -8weeks after fracture, still cant step on my foot@@sarahgordon2597
Very nice info. 5 days ago something fell on my foot it immediately swollen like a ballon. I iced it 3 hours long and it went down quite well.. it did not get red or blue, i went home an went to bed early and rubbed tiger balm on it an wore 2 socks over it. Wen im in bedi dont feel anything. I feel stiffness when my foot is down. Now after 4 days i can walk wearing a slipper. But where the foot was hit is still stiff. I can walk and work. I move my foot etc. So it doesnt stay stiff or painful. What is ur opinion on my situation? Oh yeah a car wheel with tire fefl off the table and on my foot. . I can walk on it but the foot hust feel tight because its still swolen and stiff whete the wheel hit. No blue black or red on the foot. Only a small mark where it hurts sometimes.
Thank you for this video! I broke my foot 7 days ago simply by stepping backward on uneven mats during a self defence class. I got up immediately but within an hour, it was non weight bearing. I didn’t bruise til the next day and didn’t go to the doctor for 5 days because work forced me (thankfully). My 3rd and 4th metatarsals are broken.

How long did it take before you healed and were wearing regular shoes again? Hope you are much better now!
Have a dancer’s fx that’s now 14 weeks old, very faint hint of periosteal reaction. The treating ortho said, walk all you want, weight bearing is ok… is like.. meh, whatever… A second opinion ortho said you need surgery and a bone graft. Going to try a bone stimulator as a last ditch effort, but if continue to have pain with every step, I will have to get a surgery. Any opinions?
I got a road exident last week ,minor feature in second metatarsal,my mom removed my cast in just 7 days...now I'm scared what should because for me it's early
Slipped on loose rocks, it felt like dancing on marbles for a few moments, then down I went hearing a loud pop as I landed. Broke the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th metatarsal. I'm in the 4th week wearing a cast. I'm hoping to trade the cast for a boot next week.
I broke 3 bones in my foot in march of 2022. I am struggling with physio and walking without a limp and getting my toes to move again. Any tips? I have excersise bands to use, but I cannot get my toes to bend backwards enough to get used to walking properly.
whats your opinion on foot issues like this correlating with menopause and issues with Thyriod ? Ive been overweight a while and still trying to lose weight but have never had an issue with my feet but 2 years ago had plantar fascia then that got better now major pain on the top of my feet.
I have both conditions and there's no correlation with predisposing to foot fracture or injury. Weight does cause foot issues -- more pressure and stress on joints, ligaments, bones.
OMG! Amazingly helpful video. Thank you!! I just fractured my 5th metatarsal..fell down the stairs. I think I'll recover quickly, it's pretty small. But I'm definitely going to get myself a massage roller!

Hellooo, Ms Mann! Haha.
I'm sorry you hurt yourself. I hope you're healing well.
I broke my 5th metatarsal on Sunday running for the wrong bus, and I'm sulking in bed. Haha.
My foot is still badly bruised and swollen. When did you hurt yourself?
@@dannyneville1310 awww I'm sorry to hear that. Well I think you're definitely doing the right thing by youtubing videos on how to help yourself get through this.
I broke my foot almost three weeks ago. I've improved a lot, but I'm not walking on it yet.
@@serenaangeline7450 Hellooo, Serena!
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I just saw your message. We need to start a support group! 😅
I hope you are able to walk soon. I've been walking with the boot on indoors, and walking carefully on my foot every now and then but can't put my weight through the front of my foot.
Do you still have a bump in the middle of your foot? The bone is still sticking out quite a bit for on mine.
Have a good weekend! Get better soon!
How I broke my foot: pure stubbornness. I had two heavy boxes in my hands (45 pounds) and I tried to open a door by myself. I used my right foot to catch the door to kick it open. Gravity caught me and taught me a lesson.
X-ray didn't originally show a break but I was swollen to hell, brused and couldn't move my toes or feel them. A "stress" x-ray showed my tib-fib trying to socal distance and the micro fracture.
I am glad my ortho doctor listened to me.
i fractured my 5th metatarsal at the base around 4 months ago and still feel the bone aching some days right now. Is there something wrong or would physical therapy help this pain go away? I’ve done 0 physical therapy
I stepped in a small hole my dog dug in the yard. I was wearing fairly sturdy flop flops. My toes bent back ward. I got expats and broke my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th metatarsals at the neck of the bone. 2 was not displaced. 3 was displaced and slightly twisted. 4 was displaced, twisted and crushed some…. Sx was nessisary
BJJ- Back escapes/trips -Index toe on left foot
I didn't even notice during class, but within an hour or 2, I knew something was wrong. This was 2 and a half weeks ago. I took it easy for a couple of days and it was almost all the way better. I resumed my normal activities and it's regressed. Like an idiot, I tried to run on treadmill and that's when I felt real pain and could not continue. Got it buddy taped now and will have to tell my dog, there'll be no walks for a while.
What can I do for a broken heel in many pieces they said that nothing can be done It just has to heal that way is that my only option?
Thanks! Golf cart tipped over and trapped my ankle under the edge of the floorboard. Twp operations but improving..

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

I sympathize with you. I broke something in my foot 2 weeks ago and the pain isn't too bad, and thankfully there are doctors who are trained to treat us so we don't do permanent damage to our foot. As our feet go, so does the rest of our body. So chin up ol gal, this too shall pass! Dont forget to hug your doctor.
I am in my 5th week and my foot itching me have doctor in the morning...we all shall recover
I broke the 5th metatarsal on my left foot when I was shopping.on vacation at Tlaquepaque shops in Sedona, AZ. When I went to take a step the cement walkway was lifted just enough to stop my foot mid step. I fell face first onto the sidewalk crushing my nose and fracturing the 5th metatarsal diagonally. I had to have 2 screws to repair the break, cast for 4 weeks, walking boot for 2.5 weeks, and hopefully I will be out of the walking boot and into my HOKA’s in a few more days!
Oh wow, that is so challenging to be on vacation while dealing with that level of shock and injuries. I hope you are healing up nicely and back in action now.
How can or will eye ever get my big toe to bend like the other big toe? (After breaking my calcaneous 1st 2nd 3rd 4th n 5th metatarsal)
I tripped over a dust mop with my flip.flops on and broke my foot Jan. 17, 23 and now it still hurts like crazy. I refused having surgery because I have had two knee surgeries and three shoulder surgeries all close together. I am a diabetic but my A1C is under 7. My toes are dum and I have arthritis in both feet! I have orthopedic soles for my shoes but I am still having lots of pain! Also, went to physical therapy. What would you suggest I do. I'm only take Tylenol as needed. Sincerely, Virginia
Hi, Ty for your videos! They’re very helpful! I have a non displaced midfoot fracture-calcaneus/navicular/talus/cuboid diagnosed at 1mo (initially as high grade sprain w weight bearing as tol).
Any advice for the midfoot? Ortho and ankle drs said it’s not common and I’m having trouble finding PT exercises to help. My own PT is mediocre at best sad to say. They’re trying to transition me from boot to shoe/soft lace up brace but the pain is worse. Doing all my appt f/u etc but looking for any specifics/PT/do’sand dont’s/references etc for midfoot fractures to help healing. I’m at week 18!

I am in the same situation. Broken calcaneus with no displacement of the bone.
1. Could you tell how are you now?
2. How long do you need to walk again with no problems?
3. Do you feel some longterm problems with your heel bone?
4. After how long your doctor allow you to walk again?
Thank you so much!
thank you so much! this is such helpful information! My primary doctor didn’t even tell me half of this stuff.
my foot injury story: i was supervising children at work on the playground tried to kick the soccer ball back to them & fell over the ⚽️ & twisted my ankle. i’ve fallen like that before but my pain was so bad i felt flushed & like i was gonna faint 😅 im still trying to recover… it’s been maybe 2 months now 😢

I was playing volleyball on grass,got trhough playing for almost 2hrs no prob,but then,my teammate scored an ace serve, winning the game,i got exiting jumped up to give him a high 5,and there i went down on side of right foot,full fracture, now 8weeks non union, guess its Jones. Wish i could see you, because my orthopedist is a pompous one who told me it would be fine,and now i think i need surgery...8 weeks still not bearing weight.oh and i found out i have osteporosis at 41 so this is major reason i am breaking feet easily..my life is chaning. i have always been atheltic and a dancer now i have to not jump,its ok thought, i just prayi can walk again and maybe dance somewhat.
In 2010 I forgot I was in top bunk and “stepped” out of bed fracturing my left 4th metatarsal. Then in 2016 I totaled a car and was told I fractured the left 5th metatarsal and that my 4th metatarsal was a non-union from 2010. I was in cast no weight bearing for 3 months with delayed healing after 6 months and use of bone stimulation finally healed. Starting this past week had recurrent similar pain in left foot and am going to get new image soon after playing tug of war with horse that wouldn’t load for 2 hours on the trailer.
Oh my god girl you are strong! I’m going through something similar and weirdly enough on the boat I worked on I broke my fifth MT from walking straight off my bunk in the am, after some docs in different countries did the wrong thing it’s 3 months later and sooo sore still! God it’s frustrating isn’t it. Hope you get better soon!!!
Getting on to my bar stool, right foot slipped off rung, foot thrust out to leg of next stool, compressing my money toe. 3 weeks later no doctor. Think WAY too x pensive to treat.
A friend loaned me a Prife iTera hot air wand and bought sandals w/a stiffer al sole. Ground up some comfrey and trying to figure how to poultice on toe.
Any reviews on healing (or snake oil) on iTera wand?
i had stress fracture in 5th bone from runing. wasnt swelling or blue, cudnt stand on it. i had to take a month of runing, and now its better.
I am sorry to hear about your misfortune with a stress fracture. I glad to hear that your foot gets better.
