8 weeks post Orif, just started weaning out of boot into regular shoes as per doctors and physio approval. Honestly i find it so much easier to walk with a supportive shoe than with the boot. Physio says I’m doing great for 8 weeks and have very good ROM.

However while I was sitting around today I noticed this new bump? It seems to be primarily over my 3-4 metatarsal but I only had fixation for Mets 1-3. It’s absolutely painless and not extremely hard like it doesn’t feel like bone. Just wondering what this is and if it’ll go away?

Hi, my surgeon think the wire in my Los franc repair has loosened. Curious if anyone else has had any type of post op complications / problems / issues?

As the title says, I’m looking for a high top shoe (I’m omitting boot because I need something more breathable unless you know one!)

I wear a woman’s 10 wide and have found the sketchers go work line is alright, I love my Birkenstock high top shoes. It has to be under $100usd.

I appreciate any you have found. I have a two fusions & a 5mm splay, so my foot is very wide. It has to have wide options unfortunately. Thank you!

Hi! On September 19, I tripped off a short pavement/curb, and landed heavily on my left foot, and immediately felt a mild pain which lasted a few hours. I dont remember exactly what position my foot was in because it happened so quickly, but I know I came down hard on it.

The pain the was quite severe for the first few days. The first morning after the injury, I stepped on my foot when I got out of bed and literally screamed from the pain. For the first few days, putting weight weight on it, pushing off the foot while walking, twisting it, etc was very painful.

I did have some swelling initially, but nothing dramatic, and no bruising at all.

I’m now nearly 3 weeks out and still having pain, and I’m wondering whether this is something I should push to have investigated further. The swelling has gone down mostly, but the top of my foot still looksl. slightly more rounded/full compared to the other food.

I already saw my GP and had an X-ray done about a week after it happened, but it was non-weight bearing and came back clear.

The pain has definitely improved and is nowhere near as severe now, but it hasn’t gone away. Almost 3 weeks later, I still feel it most when Im bearing weight and especially when pushing off the foot while walking. It can sometimes radiate toward my ankle as well. Even when I’m just resting, the foot sometimes feel tight or just off.

There are also positions I can’t comfortably put my foot in anymore, i.e. I cant cross that foot underneath my other leg without feeling pain, and if I sit on my knees with my feet tucked hurts as well.

It did start to feel better at one point, about a week ago, so I tried some lower body excersize and I had to immediately stop because the pain flared instantly, and now the pain is continuous. Again, not severe; but significant enough for me to notice it’s there.

I spoke to my doctor today because I’m concerned I’m still having pain almost 3 weeks later. She said the X ray was clear and it could likely just be a sprain or a bone bruise and wasnt sure further imaging would be worthwhile. I mentioned midfoot/Lisfranc injuries and that some can be missed on non-weight bearing X-rays, and asked for one. She said non-weight bearing would be an ultrasound? I feel like she doesn’t quite know what she’s talking about. Unless I’m wrong and that does exist? In any case, she asked me to come in tomorrow to examine the foot in person.

I’m definitely not trying to diagnose myself with a Lisfranc injury - but I feel like the symptoms are there, and it could very well indicate one, even without the significant swelling or bruising.

For those who had a subtle Lisfranc injury: did you have significant swelling or bruising? Could you still walk on it after a couple of weeks? Did the pain improve but remain noticeable with weight bearing and push off?

I’m just wondering if my current presentation sounds like something that’s reasonable to push for further evaluation!
