About this deal

People sometimes say that it isn't possible to walk on a broken foot but this is not correct. Whether you can walk on a broken foot depends on which bone is broken (and whereabouts along its length), whether the fracture is displaced, how supportive your shoes are, and your personal tolerance to pain. It is, therefore, possible to walk on a broken foot, although it is likely to be very uncomfortable to do so and it may well make matters worse if you do. Stress fractures

As with many broken bones, pain is a key identifier of a broken foot. If the top of the foot is extremely sore and tender to the touch, possibly even so much that it’s very difficult or impossible to place enough weight on the foot to walk, there could be a break to the top of the foot. Broken foot symptoms are similar to those of a strain, which may actually be even more painful in the short term. One way of differentiating between a sprain and broken foot symptoms is to apply ice to the top of the foot; in the event of a sprain, the pain and swelling will subside. What Broken Foot Treatment is Available on the NHS? A walking assessment by a physiotherapist will be carried out either before or after your surgery. If crutches are required, you will be instructed on their correct use. The crutches are adjusted for each individual and are not intended for use by others. You will be told how much weight if any can you put through your operated foot. The majority of patients require 2-3 follow-ups but each operation has an individual post-operative course and every patient heals differently. Your follow-up will be tailored individually as necessary.Your anaesthetist will discuss pain control with you in your room prior to the surgery. This will usually involve a combination of pain relieving medications and local anaesthetic injected either by your surgeon or the anaesthetist, to make the area of the operation numb. If you experience any foot care issues which do not resolve themselves naturally or through routine foot care within three weeks, it is recommended to seek the help of a healthcare professional.

Movement of your foot may also be limited. Surprisingly, however, pain can settle within a few hours. The swing phase may involve bending the leg at the knee to lift the foot away, rather like climbing stairs. Change your child’s nappy frequently to avoid soiling the plaster. Disposable nappies with elasticated legs work well but make sure that the leg of the nappy is above the top of the plaster cast. This stops urine leaking onto the plaster. People's choices and needs for running shoes vary. However, before choosing something unusual such as barefoot shoes or corrective shoes, make sure you take advice. For example, for barefoot running you need to be taught the right technique.

Location

Open or closed: an open fracture is one where the skin is broken over the fracture so that there is a route of possible infection from the outside into the broken bones. This is a more serious type of fracture, with more damage to the soft tissues around it making treatment and healing more complicated. Specialist assessment is needed. Breaking the top of the foot is a common injury for many people, especially those who regularly play sport or engage in any other practice that risks impact. There are a great many bones in the foot, but the most common fracture is to one of the metatarsals, which are connected to each toe at the top of the foot. It’s usually possible to make a full recovery from a broken foot in around eight weeks, using the services of the NHS or a private physiotherapist. How Do You Know if You Have a Broken Foot?

If your foot pain is increasing over time then your activity may be making an existing problem worse. In the case of a stress fracture this may mean progression to an acute fracture. You certainly can – exercises assigned by a physical therapist can speed up the process of healing the broken bone in the top of your foot, and ensure that your foot heals appropriately and does not leave you immobilized for any prolonged period of time upon recovery.

Patch “flavours” include lavender to relieve fatigue, rose for headaches and ginger for oedema. Maybe I should pour the freshly boiled water over them like teabags. Wellness or hellness? The doctors will need to determine if the fracture is displaced, which may mean that the bones need to be re-aligned and held in place. This is quite common in acute metatarsal fractures, as the weight of your body tends to push down on the broken bone and this can force the two broken ends slightly apart.At first, the main symptom may just be pain in the foot during exercise that is relieved by rest. The pain tends to be widespread and diffuse in the foot. Physiotherapy and a gradual return to exercise are a part of good follow-up care. How long does a metatarsal fracture take to heal? Acute metatarsal fractures After your plaster is removed you can start taking increasing exercise. Start with walking or cycling, building up to more vigorous exercise as comfort and flexibility permit. Your foot will be stiffer after surgery and you may not be able to do all you could before. Many people find that, because the foot is more comfortable than before surgery, they can do more than they could before the operation. Most can walk a reasonable distance on the flat, slopes and stairs, drive and cycle. Walking on rough ground is more difficult after an ankle fusion because the foot is stiffer. It is rare to be able to play vigorous sports such as squash or football after an ankle fusion. On rough ground is more difficult after an ankle fusion because the foot is stiffer.

What are the risks It is important to note that only after an injection or proximal medial gastrocnemius release are you expected to walk normally following the procedure. Most people prefer not to drive until the plaster is off, they can wear a shoe and are able to fully weight bear. Drive short distances before long ones. If you cannot safely make an emergency stop your insurance will not cover you in the event of an accident. If only your left foot is operated on and you have an automatic car, you can drive within a few weeks of the operation, when your foot is comfortable enough and you can bear weight through it.
