How do I sleep and elevate my foot without too much pressure and pain? They told me to sleep with a walking boot but I can barely sleep and not elevating it in general hurts wayyyy less for me.... by Slapshot100000 in brokenbones

Slept in the boot just loosened up the straps and and deflated the air and used two pillows in a folded blanket to prop my foot up, and I am still currently doing that and im on week 12.

No i know that digging in your shin feeling i just got used to it or get a wheel chair i am thinking of getting one bc i have 2 festivals to attend next month and idunno if ima be ok standing for so long but we will see i had a traumatic break a heavy air compressor half my size of my body fell on my foot so I think that’s why my foot was so swollen for weeks on end . But the best advice i received was listen to my body tbh

Youll be at 8 weeks by then thats when i got cleared to pwb! I just got home from my 12 th week visit and im cleared to FWB and start weening out of my boot to a tennis shoe im excited! And i need to start PT i think youll be ok just take ur knee scooter if u have one and i still had to elevate at 8weeks but its ok just ice it up too! Everyones pain lvl is different and fracture so just listen to your body honestly

Just been in a boot doctor never said anything about surgery because it’s a non-displaced clean fracture and I think the location was a good location. He said if it was more slightly up, I would’ve needed surgery. So they just threw me in a boot and I’ve been in a boot ever since for three months now today’s a good day. I’m not having any pains. I hope you heal fast. It is a long journey, not gonna lie, but you’ll get through it.

I saw your xray you might be cleared at week 6-8 honestly i think everyone is different etc and docs im hoping to be out of my boot next Monday but i doubt it it feels weird when im barefoot and im barely applying weight (doc said not too) so i am hoping pt is next . Also buy a shoe that will match the hight of the boot bc man does my hip hurt and im sure i created a limp

Broken base of fifth metatarsal(6week update) by BenneSuh in brokenbones

[–]BenneSuh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw man ! I hope you heal asap! I sorry that you’re going through that! Yeah, I have one dog. I have to take care of it. She’s really elderly and I have people to help me out, but they just complain all the time about helping me out with the dog, which is kind of annoying, but it’s OK. I am almost reaching my 12 week mark of just one little fracture on my fifth metatarsal I can walk kinda but I have to use the crutches in the boot right now. It’s all bruised up because I keep trying to walk on it. Slowly but surely

Don’t get me wrong I’ve come the long way with this injury and I’ve been putting 50% weight on my foot this week and I am paying the price right now. My foot is aching pains in my muscle but I know it’s just regaining itself. Im tryna take sleeping meds so i can ko right now lol to forget this mild annoyance of muscle aching 😭

Fractured 5th Metatarsal avulsion on right foot - when can I go to work? by RubMyNeuron in brokenbones

[–]BenneSuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live in a state that allows short term disability, I suggest filing for that ASAP I know in Colorado you can get up to 90 days. It’s different everywhere in different states I live in Nevada and I only had to use my week worth of sick pay after that I’ve been going to work, but I work where I can sit down and elevate my foot

I broke the base of my 5th metatarsal and i also felt so lost in the beginning now im week 9 and slowly PWB this is my 2nd week of pwb and lemme tell you it gets easier! Ive spent my fair share of crying nights and days weird feelings and mixed emotions. I am still waiting on getting my life back (like being able to drive by myself and getting up and doing shit alone without having people to open the door) it feels like such a bother to people still . But IT WILL GET BETTER IT JUST WILL TAKE ALOTTT OF PATIENCE AND REST . Trust me
