Michigan Foot Doctors I’m a dancer and I was doing a jump and landed really hard on my heel. It has been 2 weeks since I first injured it and I went to the doctor because it had still been hurting. They sent me to get an X-ray and they said that there is nothing there but I was watching your video about calcaneus fractures and thought that’s what I might have because whenever I dance it really really hurts and when I do the squeeze test it hurts a lot. My heel area is also a bit bruised as well. I have broken my foot before on a different part and I waited 4 weeks before going to the doctors and it showed up on the X-ray do you think there’s a fracture that’s just not showing up or is it maybe just a bruised bone or something? What do you think because it still hurts a lot but I’m not sure what to do. Please help me out!

[@pealeight2353]

I forgot to mention that it’s also really swollen!

Sat crossed legs and when my phone rang jumped from bed , foot was asleep anddddd lets say i havent felt it was twisted when i put it on the ground and the damn thing was almost twisted. Heard a crack bruised around ankle painful but doubt a bone is broken or its a fixed fracture at most. Now almost 48 hs swolen but kept it under ice, antiinflamators and in a made up fixation ligature since the closest hospt its 45km away its covid pandemic anddd i have to drive back to the city in a manual car...

It's amazing how badly you can hurt and not have a broken bone. I have a severely sprained ankle (swollen, bruised, can't move foot up/down, can't put pressure on it) but the xray says it's not broken. The human body really is held together by paperclips, rubber bands and duct tape

[@marcusmorrison7788]

That's what I'm going through Wednesday will be 3 weeks since it happen I still can't move my ankle up or down still hurts. Very bad had it xray and said it's sprained both sides of my ankle and could be six weeks till I can put pressure on it ..how long did it take u to start putting pressure on your foot and also to start moving it up and down?

[@royalladybug30]

@@marcusmorrison7788 I ended up having surgery. The surgeon used a 'tight rope' to stabilize my ankle and tendons. It was 8 weeks after surgery that I had some range of motion, 3 months post surgery before I had full range of motion.

[@EagleMiner]

@Anna Mesecher it really depends on the severity of the injury to the ligaments and if there were other parts of the ankle injured like the bone, the tendon, or the nerve. I sprained my left ankle four weeks ago. I had minimal bruising but lots of pain. The ligaments have healed but I can’t walk for too long until it starts to hurt again. The x-ray showed no bone fracture so I suspect my tendon was also stretched or partially torn. Just make sure you go to the doctor if it doesn’t get better. If it hurts to walk, then use a walking boot or whatever helps. If you don’t have pain moving it, then try range of motion exercises (don’t move it too far in one direction, only move it as far as there is no pain). After it is healed then you can start working on strength and proprioception.

I was hiking in the winter (February) of 2020 and my right ankle rolled really bad on the ice, the pain was like nothing I ever experienced, had to hobble back down a wooded hill and get in the car, adrenaline wore off and I felt like my skin was crawling...was hobbling for weeks, really bad bruising, couldn't even touch it without searing pain, could move the foot though little bit. Kept it in a brace from the drug store, was able to hike again in a few months, this was during covid so dr's visits were very limited...Wife was a huge help though, survived it!

We have to be our own advocates and not stop, or ask someone that you can trust. I rolled my ankle inward as walking, recessed storm drain was the step down , thst I didnt expect. I've had it assessed Day 1and then at 3 weeks, it's now been 8 weeks and I don't have the dull pain but it's lingering soreness, tingling top of the foot, cold soles, and it seems like it slips out at the joint as I become weight bearing after the seated position. They only gave me ace bandage and at 3 week I got a soft brace....I feel that it wasn't enough...frustrated because I've helped so many people when they've been in my current position.

I sprained my ankle during soccer. The first hours I had so much pain, but I could still put a little light weight on it. Day 2 I started with taping my ankle/foot and bought a brace.

There is brusing on both sides of my foot, small spots on tons and a small patch on the left side of the ankle bone. I can still move my toes and I can walk the stairs. Im guessing it's a Grade 1 tear but since its bruising im assuming is a grade 2. Don't think i need to go to the doctor as I feel little to no pain.

[@AncoraImparoPiper]

I've had a few fractures in my feet: 1. Avulsion fracture of lateral malleolus due to ankle being sprained when rolling it into a narrow channel - excruciatingly painful. I went straight to the hospital for that and into a moon boot for 8 weeks. 2. Spiral fracture of the 5th metatarsal, cracks in all other metatarsals and the two cuneiform bones - this occurred by a truck turning into the street I was crossing on foot. The driver mis-judged the distance between me and his truck as he tried to pass me. The truck's tyre caught the back of my lower leg resulting in these bones being broken. - 8 weeks in a cast.

[@DrTomBiernacki]

OUCH, we hope you after recovering from those and show no further issues...

[@you2tooyou2too]

My experience is that most orthopods avoid surgery on small long-bones, probably because the likely complications of such reduction procedures become their problems, and are potentially(?) worse than those of passive treatments like splinting. I had a complex (compression (displaced 1/2"), spiral, & comminuted) fx of the 4th metacarpal, and my climbing partner had a similar fx of her 3rd metatarsal. We both get functional compartment syndrome during significant exertion of the surrounding muscles because these fractures made the bones significantly larger in diameter (from infill of the many loose pieces & calcium overgrowth), leaving less room for exercise induced muscle growth or for circulatory engorgement ("the pump"). The only effective response to the pain that we've found is extension, relaxation, & elevation, to encourage venous & lymph drainage, to allow as much volume as possible for arterial & capillary blood. (Easier for my hand than her foot.) Ironically, the better shape we're in, the more susceptible we are. I presume we will have to deal with this until we are so old our muscles start wasting away. Yours might be simpler, but I don't know how much functional 'spare' room there is, for even the overgrowth of a simple fx, much less several side-by-side like yours. So this hint might help. When it hurts, she lies on her back with her foot up high & toes pulled downward.

[@mrsmcg]

Mildly displaced 5th metatarsal fracture. Been in a walking boot for just over 8 week. I had xrays today. I was told the xray results wouldn't be back for at least a week!! :'( I am still non weight bearing! I had ankle surgery in 2014. I am concerned that I may need surgery and this treatment delay is causing further issues. Should I get a second opinion?

[@AncoraImparoPiper]

@@mrsmcg No X-ray results for at least a week??? That's a joke. Our medical system in Australia is far from perfect but X-ray results come back on the same day. Without an X-ray, how do you know the fracture is mildly displaced? Generally mild displacement is not usually a candidate for surgery. I'd push to get that X-ray.

[@mrsmcg]

@@AncoraImparoPiper the xray results from prompt care visit in August came back in 24 hours. This was a follow up visit with a podiatrist.

I was playing basketball and went up for the usual layup but something was off about this one, I jumped too far horizontally instead of vertically.

I was in excruciating pain before I even hit the ground.

I’ve been to urgent care and the x-rays show no fracture, in fact they are normal. I can stand on it without any pain, I can walk gently. Looking at it the doctor says it looks broken but it’s not behaving broken (and X-rays are good). So, urgent care is not concerned and I’m not in pain (for the most part)…but it REALLY looks bad.

I had trouble walking right away, after 30 min I put ice on it and after 3-4 hours I went to the pharmacy to get some gel to put on it. First pharmacy didn't have anything, second one did, both told me to go to the ER because of the size of the swelling, so I did - x-ray came out - no broken bones. On the second day the pain kicked in and I couldn't step on it anymore(previously there was no pain - just a weird feeling preventing me to walk faster[ like a numbing signal]) I got an ankle tightener. 4th day came the purple coloring(by now I've been hopping/using crutches) on the 5th day I started walking again (stopped icing and putting gel, but fearing to put much weight on the leg - speed of a really old person using a cane. aaaaand today is the 6th day.

Hey doc i twisted my right foot while coming down from stairs the swelling increased but less pain and no blood clots or redness should i consult a doctor?

[@DrTomBiernacki]

Always check with a doctor if worried!

I was doing pull-ups and the screw came loose. I fell on my back, couldn’t breathe for 20 seconds, i have a pain in my back when it’s touched; however, my right leg also got affected by the fall. The ankle seems to be hurting a lot. Does it mean that I can’t play sports in a week?

Oops. I "hurt" my ankle while I was playing with my dog and goat. It didn't really hurt. In fact it was rather numb. No bruising initially so I assumed that it was a mild sprain. I am an athletic person who is always cycling and swimming. I went to work as a chef, the pain and swelling increasing every day for 12 days. Walking and weight-bearing becoming more difficult every day. Going to the doctor tomorrow and I am worried. My ankle is starting to deform. I am almost 50 years old and I can barely wear a sock now.

Walking from the living room to the kitchen! Foot gave way, along with quite a loud crack. Excruciating pain. Am in the uk, so was just referred to a nurse at my Dr's surgery. Foot got a bit of bruising at the foot end of the toes, plus quite a bit of bruising underneath the foot, and on the arch. Had a lot of swelling. Nurse said she "thinks" I have torn my ligaments and broken some of my Phalange bones. That's it, in the uk! That's all you get! No x-ray, no aftercare, no physiotherapy! It's 7 weeks now, and it's still swelling, although not quite as much. It's not as painful on the top, and the bruising has gone, I can bend my toes up and down now, but it's STILL painful, especially under my arch and the sole of my foot.

Man your videos are awesome, I broke my fibula on my May 9 2020 jumping down 4 stairs on my skateboard (the trick i was trying is called a boneless ironically - switch front 180 boneless for all you skaters reading) landing on slightly uneven ground... I was landing with my right foot forward (goofy position, yes, that's really what its called... if you skate with your left foot forward is referred to as regular position fun fact) .. and my back foot missed the board so it was an out ward ankle roll (imagine a skater with the back foot dragging behind them off of the board) that ended up breaking my fibula on quite an angle. I was wearing a boot/ crutches for about 2 months.. since about July 15 I stopped using crutches, and slowly stopped wearing the boot as well but I havnt been using a brace.. it seems to be almost better but the area still seems to get get slightly swollen as my day progresses, then I put my foot up in the evening or wear my boot again overnight. The brace seems like a good idea. I am a drummer and the show must go on so i'm hoping drumming is helping strengthen it and not doing more damage. It was a decent break, been 3 months and 10 days now... does it sound like its healing properly? Theres no pain anymore except for when i put pressure just above the bump where the fibula meets your foot... so the fibula itself i guess, around the break site. I have to apply quite a bit of pressure and the pain is not severe. It just worries me that it is still swelling up a bit after so long. My entire job is walking all day (hospital porter) and id like to get back to work asap but I don't want to jump the gun and risk more damage.

Please sir, I had a ankle injury 2 years back, I consulted more than 5 doctors, x-ray mri ct neuro test.. I have done all but no use..they all say my leg is perfectly fine. I think the main reason was in normal situation I don't feel any pain, I feel it only when I do some serious exercise. so when the doctor twist and turn my ankle to check I don't feel any pain. I was playing badminton (for the first time in a wooden court) and I felt a small pain in my right ankle when I reached out (in some what a full extended lunges position) to the shuttle. I continued playing for some 2..3..mins when sudden I felt serious pain i the ankle. Veins and all were like swollen up.. was not able to walk for free mins.. at that time upward motion of the ankle was okay but when I tried downward motion, the pain increased. With in 10 to 15mins all felt normal but it was not.. stopped playing serious badminton, football.. I can jog but I can't sprint. If I put my right leg flat and try to bring the knee forward I feel a high pain all around the foot.. not just in the front but in the sides also, around the balls.( With one hand if try to grab the ankle from front, I feel pain from Intex finger to thumb line ) Could you please tell me what causing this pain and suggest some solution 🙏🏼

So this is definitely not a diagnosis and always check with your doctor before any treatment but its always important to make sure flexibility is equal for the foot and there is not a contracture following a chronic injury. This can lead to ball of the foot overload the dorsal Midfoot compression syndrome. The #1 cause of chronic pain following an injury that we see is unresolved tightness in active people leading to many problems during high activity load.
