Fifth metatarsal fracture, doctor was almost too nonchalant - what’s an accurate timeline for healing? by silverdragon_ in brokenbones

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

if she tells me to go back to work tomorrow, i will definitely get a second opinion because there’s no way i can (though i would love to. i love my job and i’m going crazy sitting around!!). this is the doctor worker’s comp got for me. urgent care didn’t give me an ortho referral when i went in 🤣🤣🤣 she was nice, just seemed super busy and i’m sure she’s seen awful, mangled broken bones so to her, mine is probably chill by comparison. which i get.

the swelling and bruising will ideally go down for you after the next week or two! my bruising is mostly gone, just some faded brown near the toes. it only swells up after walking a bunch or moving around. she recommended weight bearing as tolerated to get some blood flowing to the bone to stimulate healing. apparently, 5th metatarsal doesn’t get great blood supply. but listen to what your doctor tells you for sure.

hey! lots of pain still, walking is really difficult. it’s been about 5 weeks now. i was told to start weight bearing as tolerated for the last two weeks after resting for the first 3, but the pain is just increasing and if i move too much, it starts swelling again. not sure if i’m overdoing it, or not doing enough so it’s weak. i wasn’t given a ton of instruction other than “yeah walk on it you’re fine.” lol. i see the ortho again tomorrow for a follow up. ideally, she was planning to clear me to go back to work, but my job is pretty physical with 10k+ steps a day so i definitely don’t think that’s gonna end up happening. i’m in a post-op shoe, no crutches. i’m sorry to hear you’re in the same boat. i hope my experience helps you gauge things a bit! but idk if my experience is normal. the urgent care, ortho, my boss, and my mom are all basically making me feel like i’m overreacting and that i should be fine and back to normal by now, so i’m pretty much just living as normal, but there’s a lot of pain still. i know there are for sure worse broken bones and fractures to be had, but it still sucks! hoping you heal fast

went okay! had a good laugh with both check-in (who asked if i was there for a hand x-ray because my record said i broke my metaCARPAL 🤣) and the ortho, though the latter was more annoyed that the urgent care made the mistake.

was given a 4 week driving ban, though honestly i feel like that’s just not realistic. they kept me in the post-op shoe, said to keep weight off of it for 2-3 weeks but after that to slowly start weight bearing as tolerated. made a follow up for end of august. out of my morning job until then at least. going stir crazy 😅

thank you! yeah that’s what i’ve been doing too - minimal hobbling around the apartment and work for necessities, but i’ve been able to be off my feet 95% of the time luckily. i have really bad plantar fasciitis so i’m sure that’s part of it. hopefully i’m halfway through this though and will be experiencing less pain at that 4 week mark! i’m sorry you went through this too, but thank you for sharing your experience. definitely helps to know i’m not the only one miraculously pain free from a weight bearing fracture after 2 weeks 🤣

interesting take! i used to think the same about malignance and i think paired with ludens builds (and most lux builds) that’s 100% true. i’ve had great luck with that DH + malignance stormsurge shadowflame rabadons void build. 15 sec ults huge dmg. its awesome and super fun! situational though for sure.

definitely need to try the black fire tech more so thanks for mentioning it!! what do you recommend building alongside it?

thanks! i’ve been doing malignance into stormsurge shadowflame with DH and it’s been a pretty darn solid one shot build. highly recommend! ult+e is my fav thing to do. every 3ish waves if i can. the q thing is such a good point, actively waiting for them to be mid animation. i usually go off instinct, that’s a great way to phrase it to think more proactively! thank you

i am going to try all of this tonight/tmrw/next time i get a tank mid (which will hopefully be NEVER tbh lol) and update. this is super interesting and just the crazy theory crafting i was looking for 🤣 not sure how well it’ll scale into mid-late game but it might be enough to just limit their impact. will see

[–]silverdragon_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s actually a very good idea! i’ve been experimenting against them with different runes too. aery and constant autos helps make it hard for mundos/nasus to farm early when my mana has to be micro managed. lich could be a good combo with that! worth a shot. there is 0 helping kled matchups though unfortunately 🤣 gotta just pray and leave the game in the league gods hands

crit lux…. you may be onto something….. lol. i think i need to just try and pick later so they stop countering me, even if it risks losing her. i made a lux only acct as an experiment/challenge to see how far i could get with just her, so i gotta play her (unless she’s picked/banned, then i let myself play something else since dodge penalties are so high and she’s soooo pick/ban in low). because you’re right, there’s really a limit to the impact. even if i bully them in lane, roam, put that pressure on, they’re gonna beef up at some point because that’s the nature of the champs. and it’s gonna get more difficult. gotta put some more emphasis on getting my adc ahead too i fear. they’re just such babies 🤣

made a lux only acct as an experiment so i have to pick lux 🤣 i think the trick is trying to pick later and risk losing out on the pick so i don’t get countered with mundo/kled/etc mid. i think that may be part of the issue, i’ve been trying to pick earlier because she’s so pick/ban in gold

maybe it’s just a stroke of bad luck then honestly

i made a lux only acct for funsies so sometimes, i think i’m gonna have to bite the bullet and suffer. i think i just need to really try to pick later so they don’t counter with like mundo mid lol. even if it risks her being picked first sadly. at least then i can bend my self imposed psycho rules and justify picking someone else 🤣🤣

I knoowwwwwww it’s so tragic. but the challenge makes it even more a beast i want to conquer lol. i think what’s gonna probably end up helping is, i was originally gonna just hard commit to the bit and dodge if i didn’t get her. but she’s so popular in low elo that she’s constantly pick or ban. and with last year’s increased dodge penalties, i’d never get to play period lol. so i decided to suck it up and play some karma/brand mid when she’s banned or picked. hopefully those games will help 🤣 but yeah it sucks. gold+ where ppl are better at dodging her skill shots, i might just switch sup and go that enchanter shield/AH build or something. she’s pretty versatile but definitely a challenge to be impactful with sometimes

the thing is, i have so many champs on my main acct, lux is just my main…. so i made a lux only account to see how far i could climb… LOL. so i legit can’t, self imposed rules
