Re: walking boot for ankle fracture????

I have no idea about your particular situation and what your doctor may want to do as it depends on the severity of the fracture, but a friend of mine had quite a serious fracture, with hardware...

Re: Nerve/Leg & Foot Issues (Long)

I was able to shop for about an hour and a half before my foot started to really complain, so we had lunch, then it was a bit better, but within another hour I had hit the wall and couldn't do...

Re: ankle tendon pain?

You most likely have tendon issues for sure, sounding like posterior tibial tendon. If you do a search on here, you'll find lots who have had that surgery (if that's where you end up) and what...

Re: Oh Good Grief

Squeaky wheels get the grease -- if you hadn't phoned and gotten upset, my guess is that you'd still be waiting! Fingers crossed that it all works out well for you! (and no delays on the surgery...

Re: Post op excercises while sitting?

These use weights, but you are sitting or lying on the floor. Just do those you can do without pain, and you may want to check with your doctor first:

Exercises to do with broken foot:

Re: Frustrated...need to vent...sorry!

If you are a registered user, I think it should send you a notice of a repy if you subscribe to the thread. To do that, go under QUICK LINKS at the top menu, and there is a "subscribed threads". I...

Re: Broken Distal Fibula (broken ankle)

You'll be in a cast, but what type depends on the type of fracture (how bad it is). Simple ankle breaks end up in an aircast sometimes, or you may be in a fiberglass cast for the first 3-4 weeks,...

Re: Gram

I know that if you ask at a medical supply store, they can assist you. There are things like transfer boards, where you make a "bridge" between the wheelchair and couch, for instance, so you can...

Re: seated scooter vs. knee walker

I haven't used either, but in reading lots of the posts here, you may be able to use both. The knee walker/scooter would be good in your house, and perhaps the other scooter when you are out and...

Re: Severe pain after Osteochondral Lesion repair

This almost sounds like it could be peroneal tendonitis?? Not sure where the searing pain goes, but worth mentioning. From what I've read, it goes away with rest, but hurts when you first move the...

Re: Want to cut this foot off!

After doing NOTHING all day Sunday (and I mean NOTHING -- sat with my foot up the entire day), it is back to the "normal" level of hurting. I still cannot walk more than from one end of my house to...

Re: calcaneal fracture and walking

I've not had your injury (I had a broken foot) and all I know is don't rush it -- do what you can, and then when you find it's getting easier, try to go a bit more. I started PWB on my foot with the...

Re: Modified Brostrom-More pain after cast removed

Definitely you have to loosen the boot at night -- I found especially at the toes I couldn't handle it tight at night. I also took out the front plastic piece at nice, and left the boot fairly loose...

Re: Transition from hard cast to walking boot

I found the absolutely best way to get rid of all that dead skin was to use a washcloth in the bath/shower to gently rub it, and then after the shower, put a good slathering of vaseline on it. Much...

Re: Question about a cast

I can't remember where I read it, if it was on this forum or another one, but someone had posted about feeling claustrophobic in a cast. I don't think you're the only one, and maybe you need to tell...

Re: rehab of broken foot

I had two breaks (one displaced somewhat) at the base of the 5th met, and was told I could do weight bearing as tolerated. For the first 2-3 weeks, it hurt too much to put much weight of any kind on...

Re: Pain with walking, post PTTD surgery, crutch techiques

If you can manage the stairs on your bottom, that is actually the safest method. If you would prefer to crutch up or down (e.g. when out and about), then there are two rules to remember: The good go...

Re: Can someone advise what this is on my foot?

I've had plantar warts and it looks like that to me. If you cannot afford to go to a doctor right off, you can try over the counter stuff, but in actual fact they don't often work that well. The...

Re: 11 yr old in need, please help!

I am unsure why the doctor would say your brother had autism when he was born, but he hasn't been diagnosed officially? Autism usually isn't diagnosed until at least age 2 unless it's very severe...
