Metatarsal Stress Fracture Has anyone had experience with a metatarsal stress fracture? I am self diagnosising -- I have all the symptoms and it makes sense with my poor battered foot. I have been walking more than usual and the top of my foot is hurting so badly that my strongest pain meds doesn't touch it! I guess I'm going to have to break down and go to the doctor! |
Go to the orthopedic surgeon, lady! Likely he'll put you in a sturdy-soled(I mean won't bend at all hardly!) gym shoe that you have to wear until you go to bed to keep tiny microfractures from growing. And put you on the bone-strenghteners of the day that haven't been shot down by the latest "studies". I've never had one but seen many treated and healed with following doc's orders. |
Hello........been there, done that.....more than several times......I never took the bone stregtheners meds...I am a nurse and we are horrible patients, and they have always scared me.........but yes, it hurts across the top of the foot.....limited activity on that foot....uh-huh, sure, of course, big picture of THAT happening around here.......follow the docs orders and it will heal in a timely manner...... |
I have no experience with that but I hope you are ok and I will keep you in my prayers. |
Thanks guys. I appreciate the good thoughts, advice and prayers. I guess I'll have to break down and go to the doctor. Dad gum, I just don't have time for any more hurt foot/leg foolishness :(:mad::eek::thumbdown |
Oh no... A friend of mine had that. She had to wear a special shoe for a while. Not the same but I hurt my food ..I still think I broke something ..and it took a month enforce I could walk:eek: so I understand |
Oh no! Sorry to hear you are still having problems... hope this is resolved quickly! |
I'm really sorry to read this. You've certainly had more than your fair share of those sort of issues. Let us know what you find out if you go to the dr. |
I broke down and had it xrayed. It's broken :( Pardon the pun, but my left leg really needs a break :lol tears I guess it's off to my favorite ortho Dr. Terrell again! |
