I twisted my foot 3 weeks ago and it still hurts today.
I went to see my family doctor and he doesn’t think it’s broken but I’m not sure.
Too paranoid to get an X ray but there is not much they can do for a fractured foot anyway.
Plenty of rest on the couch but I’m used to living off the couch anyway.
I’m just frustrated because it’s not getting any better.
If your doctor suggested it maybe you should consider it.
He mentioned it but he said that it wasn’t mandatory.
He could tell I was anxious about it.
If it was broken you would know its, believe me. You wouldn’t be able to walk.
Yes this is what my psychiatrist said to me also.
It’s probably severely sprained.
i broke a little bone in my foot recently. It was fractured so not that bad but I couldn’t walk for 11 weeks and it was a little fracture on my left foot near middle toe, it hurt like hell.
My foot hurts only when I walk on it.
How did you treat your foot @bobbilly?
Your foot would feel okay in resting position but any pressure it would hurt like hell especially weight bearing.
That’s a long time for it still to be hurting. I would be wondering too. Anyway I hope it gets to feeling better really soon, three weeks is enough already.
My girlfriend broke her foot about two weeks before you hurt your foot. Have you been wearing a “boot” and/or compression bandage?
Important question: Do you have diabetes? Specifically neuropathy? I ask because my girlfriend does, and it’s a problem when you break a foot .
I think you should get the X-ray.
I’m sorry about your girlfriends injury.
Yes I have a boot that I wear once in a while but it’s very uncomfortable.
My foot feels better when I’m barefoot to be honest.
Yes I’m diabetic @anon17132524.
If it still hurts weeks from now I think that I will get an X Ray.
Wave… I know it is difficult to know how tight it is to tighten them boots… I sure you know but don’t make them to tight although it feels good when you do.
Can you tell us how it feels when you weight bear?
Thanks @anon17132524 and @bobbilly.
Yes it feels good when I tighten the boot real tight.
But by the end of the day my foot feels worse.
When I walk my right foot hurts, it’s as simple as that @bobbilly.
is you foot swollen? Or has it been?
No not really. 1515
I’m not a doctor. I think as long as you can weight bear (no very painful feelings when putting foot to floor especially exercising toes by bending) and you didn’t experience any swelling in foot when painful feeling started I personally think its a strain but I’m not a doctor. I had this with my food last time and I can tell you a feature was very painful and it was only little. Wave if its really painful and with you diabetes you may want to get it checked out.
Thanks @bobbilly
When i went to ER to my neighbor orthopedist because of my broken foot finger ten days after first visit he told me that there’s no need for gypsum foot in broken small bones,because it heals by it self.Instead,he told me to wear sneakers,as they firm the leg.I went today in sneakers to my aunt by bus,and it hurt a little but passed soon.Today I feel like wearing bandages this days,but without them.I wish that Mr @Wave x rays his leg,and be safe that injury is minor and boring.
I’m sorry you hurt yourself, and I hope it heals soon. Even though you don’t have swelling or bruising, maybe you should put an ice pack on it. Or maybe you can buy those pain ointments over the counter and apply it at night when you’re off your foot. The doctor would have told you if you really did need an x-ray. He wouldn’t force you, but he would have given you more information, don’t you think?
