I’m 65 yr. old woman & was trying to save money by doing my own yard work. Small yard but there are steep banks, so I’ve been using crampons (like hikers use) while weed whacking. The other day I overestimated myself & took a tumble. Fractured 5th metatarsal. It’s hard getting older & having to admit I can’t do what I used to do.

Guy cut me off on the way to work, made me drop my sporty and hit my metatarsal on my break peg hard enough to cause a small microfracture upon rolling and landing back on my feet just to collapse immediately to the pain on my foot. Been healing for over a month and took all the steps prior to even watching this video due to my experiences in life and in the military. No joke that this small injury does take a long time. If anybody is going through a foot injury, please take it slow. I'd rather sacrifice half a year of embarrassment and small inconveniences than to never walk normally again.

I fell down the stairs two weeks ago and broke the 4th and 5th metatarsals of my left foot. We went to the ER within an hour and I’m so glad we did. Recovery is going well, but having my foot in the down position is exhausting! After 10-20 minutes, I need to put it up again. My endurance in terms of pain and energy is getting better every day.

Thank you so much for this wealth of information! I recently broke my foot (left, 5th metatarsal) by stepping on a pine cone at work *insert face palm* I was shocked because I'm 28 and have never had an injury. My ankle and foot rolled all the way to the side, and I heard a crack that sounded like a empty water bottle being squished. I have learned more with you here than I did at the hospital during my intake and follow up appointments.

@@youngmoola31 prayers up for you! It took me the full 8 weeks to not need crutches or the scooter. Then shortly after that, I was able to wear a shoe again but with a brace. This happened in March 29, 2021. But June, I felt my foot and ankle was strong enough to walk in just my shoe. I did 6 weeks of physical therapy and that really helped. My healing was slow, thought. If you can, please stay home as long as possible take calcium and Vitamin D, and eat healthy. Do you stretches and workouts when you sitting down watching TV or on your laptop.

😱I broke my toes playing freeze tag with my kid at the park. Never broke a bone in my life. I'm 30. 😪

Tripped on the stairs and twisted my ankle. Heard that sort of ripping noise and knew I’d need to go to urgent care. Broken ankle and 5th metatarsal. Thanks for all this information especially the reminder to prioritize self care.

Thank you for such a detailed video! I love how much information you provided, it was exactly what I was looking for. ❤

Broke my navicular bone and dislocated too, thanks for the information! I was prepared if my foot won’t work normal anymore, I'm hopeful if I keep to the basics and be careful I can do it! Wish me luck on the surgery in 3 days

This is so helpful, especially the info. about the boot, orthotic, and shoes. I have a minor calcaneus fracture from a fall while rock climbing. Made a mistake. ☹ Fortunately does not need surgery. Love this channel. Thank you!

I dropped something really heavy on my right foot at work 10 weeks ago and broke the 5th metatarsal into several pieces and it was an open fracture with the impact creating a hole half way through my foot. Had ORIF surgery and I’m walking and driving already so I’m very fortunate and happy about it. The first couple of weeks were horrible, a lot of pain at night and I constantly had to keep my foot up because every time blood started pooling into it, it would start hurting like hell.

Thank you so much for providing such thorough information. I slipped at home 3 weeks ago and didnt realize it until later in the evening because I have neuropathy and have injured my foot and leg multiple times. This was the last thing I needed however with our Medicare system being terribly exhausted! I walked out of the hospital on my injured foot for a few days before getting fitted with a proper boot! And after seeing the doctor the only thing he said was to continue wearing the boot for another 3 weeks followed by a few sessions of physio! No follow up, no need for further examination! Meanwhile you just gave us 25 tips and things to do to help heal the affected areas of the foot. Thanks again 🙏

How many days had you been walking on your injured foot before you got to the hospital? Also, did the hospital do Xrays and diagnose you with fractures? I hope you're doing much better now! I've been in a fracture walking boot for 5 weeks after breaking 2-4 Metatarsal bones.

I am a female and 43 years old. I have a trimalleolar fracture and had an ORIF. I am now 5 weeks post op and was placed in a walking boot today! Now the story of how I broke it...Wish I had much cooler story but here goes. I t was raining and had slick soled shoes on and slipped in the mudd... It has been a life changing event, but I am making improvements everyday. ThNk you for your videos. They have been very helpful.

Jones fracture of the 5th metatarsal, right foot so no driving and no weight bearing. I had just left the office after my last day on the job, walking 10 feet to my car on a perfectly flat, smooth, clean office park sidewalk. My foot rolled for no particular reason that I can recall and I heard a loud pop. Seven weeks in, using an all-terrain knee scooter that I rented for $70/month at a local medical supply place (about 1/2 the cost of buying the same model and I didn't have to put it together). I use a walker in the shower to stay steady. Boot when out and about. I live alone off-grid, so this has been a challenging and isolating 2 months, but hoping I can drive again soon. I did get a bone stimulator through insurance (I just started a new job with new health insurance, so it costs me my entire $2000 annual deductible). My doctor thinks they really help, I am not sure... could be a very expensive placebo. Wishing all who are in the same boat speedy and smooth healing! You got this!

Absolutely amazing advices. You sir are great! You helped me a lot. Thank you! I’m two more days in a cast after broken lateralis malleolus. Wish me luck. 😀

Broke my ankle-chip fracture and my foot-fracture going up into the joint on right foot, far right side, Slipped off a curb, due to wet leaves under dry ones, leaves hiding the true edge of the curb. I knew it, as soon as I heard that snap. It is truly amazing what the brain will do to your recollection of time when you feel that level of pain. No wonder, and mercifully so, burn patients pass out.

I fractured my foot skateboarding last Friday. I rolled my foot sideways and initially thought I had just rolled my ankle which I've done countless times in 14 years of skating. apparently I fractured my cuboid bone (the one right above the fifth metatarsal) the next morning my ankle and foot showed no outward symptoms of injury but I literally couldnt put one pound of weight on it. got an x ray and its a pretty clean fracture right through it, almost snapped in half but not quite. biggest takeaway is "listen to your body" highlighted both by the way I injured myself (had worked 8 hours, skated for almost three, should have gone home and lived to fight another day) and the morning after though I saw no outward symptoms, the pain was inordinate for what I thought had happened. thanks for all the info Doc, very helpful

Great information. Any videos for multiple fractures? I was in car accident on March 15 almost 2 months ago I broke 2 wrist and 3 toes on my left foot. Any advice will be helpful. I have arthritis too. I am 49 and scar to not be able to work .

I got most of questions answered, thank you so much. It is really very helpful and informative. I am 51. And I am still in a process of healing but have lot of queries. I had a road accident on March 3, 2022. I was hit by a taxi and it's tyre just happened to roll over the part of my right foot. During the time of collision, the pain was too intense and burning and I couldn't stand my right foot. I didn't realize that my foot had fractured until I was rushed to emergency room in a nearby hospital by the traffic police, of course in the same car that hit me! An x-ray revealed that I had 2nd, 3rd and 4th metatarsals broken! I was put an L-shaped cast for 5 weeks. I used crochet for walking. I got my cast removed on April 4. Now I am walking, however, I feel it's not like a normal walk, I feel my right foot being locked. I haven't started any physiotherapy but doing some exercises myself following KZread videos. Now the stretching exercises you have shared within us are going to be really helpful. Is it fine if I do exercises myself at home or is it advisable to do physiotherapy? Anticipating your positive response.

Great video.. Haven't been to the doc yet, pretty sure I just sprained my mid toes knuckles since it's mainly the joints that hurt, and in the morning I feel a sharp pain back to the heel if I don't step very carefully, maybe I tore something... No bruising very minimal swelling at the joints. I was walking wearing a pair of low quality slippers in the yard when side step ripped the outer edge loose and sort of rolled the edge of my foot over, should have put on real shoes... Anyway, thought I'd share.. Thank you for the info..🤕

Fell while trying to get to my seat at a Ringo Starr concert. 2nd 3rd and 4th metatarsal fractures. Not much direction from ortho. I have a boot and was full weight bearing on day 2. But no follow-up at all so your video is helpful.

So sorry! I just broke my 2nd, 3rd and 4th Metatarsals also, acute fractures. I've been in the walking boot for 5 weeks now. My back is starting to really hurt from the unevenness of wearing the boot -- even though I wore an EvenUp shoe lift on the good foot. How long do you have to wear the boot? The heaviness of it puts too much pressure on the very swollen, painful area on the top of my forefoot where the fractures are. Why didn't your dr want to follow up with you? Did they give you any instructions about how long to wear the boot and when to wean out of it? You really need follow up evaluations regularly!

Great!!!

I broke my foot walking on my lawn, walking the same path I did 100 times before. Didn't check my footing as I was in a hurry and just walked in a smallish hole and the foot flipped. At first, I thought I just sprained it. But I couldn't walk on my foot and something was loose, and it was colorful and huge. Turns out I ripped some tendons and broke a bone. I was surprised, a 30 years old in shape guy could break something so easily.

Mine happened while working on a back injury with a new kinesiologist who didn't know what she was doing and didn't stop exersise when I said I was feeling a lot of pressure on the side of my foot. Kept getting me to do even more squats with my flat feet.

I am in my 5th week and my foot itching me have doctor in the morning...we all shall recover

Fractured my left medial base, 2nd proximal phalanx. One doctor recommends boots while another recommends no cast. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Riding my cruiser, sometimes the pegs drag on a turn, lifted my foot up to avoid catching my foot but the ground was sloped up. It slammed my lifted foot back into the motorbike and twisted it. Knew immediately something was wrong, tingling all the way down to the toes, rode back (couldn't change gear), finally get into the hospital so after a CT, the top is all broken. Great fun!

Thanks for the tips. I fractured 1st and 2nd metatarsals, and big toe because I tried to move a 6 foot length of iron rail road track. Dropped it from about 4 inches. The top of my foot was immediately a giant blue bubble. I'm at about 6 weeks with a boot and scooter and I'm tired.

@sl2608 Yes, thank you! I learned to ask for help in the process, as well!

Thank you so much you helped me a lot! The information was simple and useful :) I broke my leg after doing a gymnastics backflip (layout) and landed on the side of my foot, at a trampoline park.

Shit I just broke my foot doing the same thing

Yep, after watching this GREAT video, I think I broke the top of my foot and will cave in and go to the foot Docs. I was (still am) restoring a 160 yr old cast iron Sewing machine. I put it on a kitchen island to fix it. It is about at my waist level. I put the small screws in a 4lb. heavy glass old ashtray that fell off the edge, turned sideways and landed on the top middle of my foot at full force. I swelled, and it is all kinds of blue, slightly off greenish, and now fresh bruising is starting on top. Did it on Sep 30. Feel like a clutz but it is really hurting so off I go to see the docs. Thanks for your video Doc!!!!

Ouch, that is rough!

I dropped a nam co on my two weeks on and I'm still in pain and I've got to go to

How I broke my foot: pure stubbornness. I had two heavy boxes in my hands (45 pounds) and I tried to open a door by myself. I used my right foot to catch the door to kick it open. Gravity caught me and taught me a lesson. X-ray didn't originally show a break but I was swollen to hell, brused and couldn't move my toes or feel them. A "stress" x-ray showed my tib-fib trying to socal distance and the micro fracture. I am glad my ortho doctor listened to me.

how i broke my foot (light fracture on my 5th metatarsal): slipped at work. getting that good workers comp baby

Fell off a kitchen chair two days ago climbing to reach a top shelf. Displaced fracture of the fifth metatarsal in two places. Otho appt today. I'm 65. Will this take longer to heal than for a younger person?

I have a trimalleolar fracture with a linsfranc injury. I want to know if having an injury on my foot and ankle take longer to heal than if it was just one injury?

I broke my 5th metatarsal 5 weeks ago I had plates fixed to it I haven’t walk on it yet but wondering when I will be able to walk on it as I am working I need to drive and walk around is it safe to walk on in after 6 weeks or not after the surgery??? Thank you for the informations❤️

Fractured my big toe yesterday running in the house. Tripped over my husband’s foot and jammed my toe, heard a pop, got out of going grocery shopping-have a frankenfoot but totally worth it. Big boot makes driving a standard impossible though.

10 years ago I broke my narvicular on left foot, I fell out of a taxi (nope, wasn't drunk, I have short legs and it was a high vehicle!). Had 3 surgeries incl a bone graft and foot fusion. Now I have spinal stenosis with sciatica in the left leg and nerve damage down my left leg. 2 week ago I broke 2 toes, yesterday I broke another - all on my left foot. I broke the 2 when I accidently hit the marble fireplace after a stumble, then I broke the 3rd going to the bathroom during the night!!! Honest to goodness, I need to be put in a padded suit lol

I hurt my foot 2 days ago. I was moving a record console onto my trailer. I slipped on the ramp holding the heavy console and my foot bent in half. Ouch! iced it. elevated it all night. Had to work the next day which was really slow moving. It feels better today but taking it easy and wrapped it.

I stepped in a hole and broke my foot. January 6, 2022. I see an orthopedic surgeon this following Monday... I'm currently in a splint with zero pressure orders. Hopefully, I won't need surgery. I have upper anterior fracture and/or a break. ER said my ankle looked okay.

Slipped on loose rocks, it felt like dancing on marbles for a few moments, then down I went hearing a loud pop as I landed. Broke the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th metatarsal. I'm in the 4th week wearing a cast. I'm hoping to trade the cast for a boot next week.

Thank U for this video! I broke my right foot (the 3 middle metatarsal) during an one day realistic self defense class.

7 days ago, i jumped over a couch to grab the ball... i tripped n fell right onto my foot i'll never forget that gross crunching sound. I will hopefully get a scan this wednesday.

I was dancing in cowboy boots that were to tight and turned wrong. Thank you for all your helpful advise.

Just recently hurt my foot. When i went to the ER they said it was sprained but it’s very badly bruised and hurts sooo bad. I’m pretty sure it’s fractured. Thank you for your help.

Did it end up being fractured?

What kind of orthotic should I get for my walking boot? A flat type or one with arch support? I have a broken metatarsal.

How long does it take to get a stress fracture on my foot get better? I am wearing a boat right now She has given me 2 weeks so after the boat is off how will I know my foot has healed The fracture came out of now where maybe something at my work out class caused it

One day I had really bad calf muscle pain that night while I slept it went completely away. Could it have been a blood clot that broke down and cleared on its own?

Very nice info. 5 days ago something fell on my foot it immediately swollen like a ballon. I iced it 3 hours long and it went down quite well.. it did not get red or blue, i went home an went to bed early and rubbed tiger balm on it an wore 2 socks over it. Wen im in bedi dont feel anything. I feel stiffness when my foot is down. Now after 4 days i can walk wearing a slipper. But where the foot was hit is still stiff. I can walk and work. I move my foot etc. So it doesnt stay stiff or painful. What is ur opinion on my situation? Oh yeah a car wheel with tire fefl off the table and on my foot. . I can walk on it but the foot hust feel tight because its still swolen and stiff whete the wheel hit. No blue black or red on the foot. Only a small mark where it hurts sometimes.

thank you so much! this is such helpful information! My primary doctor didn’t even tell me half of this stuff. my foot injury story: i was supervising children at work on the playground tried to kick the soccer ball back to them & fell over the ⚽️ & twisted my ankle. i’ve fallen like that before but my pain was so bad i felt flushed & like i was gonna faint 😅 im still trying to recover… it’s been maybe 2 months now 😢

My dad was at work operating a mini excavator which fell on top of his foot thanks for the useful tips!

I have a stress fracture in my right foot in the exact spot your showing. My 2 year old granddaughter jumped off the back of the couch and landed on my foot with her heel hitting first. This happened in July of 2021 and still isn't healed. I'm having surgery on the 28 of this month😢

BJJ- Back escapes/trips -Index toe on left foot I didn't even notice during class, but within an hour or 2, I knew something was wrong. This was 2 and a half weeks ago. I took it easy for a couple of days and it was almost all the way better. I resumed my normal activities and it's regressed. Like an idiot, I tried to run on treadmill and that's when I felt real pain and could not continue. Got it buddy taped now and will have to tell my dog, there'll be no walks for a while.

I was playing volleyball on grass,got trhough playing for almost 2hrs no prob,but then,my teammate scored an ace serve, winning the game,i got exiting jumped up to give him a high 5,and there i went down on side of right foot,full fracture, now 8weeks non union, guess its Jones. Wish i could see you, because my orthopedist is a pompous one who told me it would be fine,and now i think i need surgery...8 weeks still not bearing weight.oh and i found out i have osteporosis at 41 so this is major reason i am breaking feet easily..my life is chaning. i have always been atheltic and a dancer now i have to not jump,its ok thought, i just prayi can walk again and maybe dance somewhat.

I broke my first metatarsal last Friday as a result of a hoverboard/ Segway-Ninebot s malfunction. The hoverboard was going 7-10 MPH and it decided on its own that it wanted to go to the right on a straight path. I had little time to respond and ended up landing left toe first. I got my boot today and will be in it for the next 6 weeks.

Broke my metarsals and cuneiform after I tripped over my own feet and slammed my foot into a wall 14 weeks ago. It is finally healed but still have a lot of pain.

I have an avulsion fracture from dropping a dirt bike off of a stand onto myself. I didn't know that the suspension bolt was not in the bike and it fell as soon as I moved it and got under it to try and lift it back into place.

My most recent foot injury is from dropping a cigar box on it. Going to urgent care tomorrow to have it x-rayed but I clicked on this to see what I can do till I get there!😅

Me too 18 years ago an my foot hurts me so bad

I was on the 3rd or 4th rung of a ladder pruning my avocado tree. The ladder was well grounded and things looked pretty safe. I was about to start the cutting with my awesome chargeable reciprocal saw, but i decided to set the saw up on the wall and pull some smaller branches out of the way. I'm 80 so I'm more careful about ladders and saws. I took a hold of another annoying branch and pried it to the side and then it snapped and I was thrown back from the rebound. I landed on my left heel in a bed of cobbles (3-6 inch rocks). I think maybe tying myself loosely to the tree trunk would have been helpful. Also I think doing work with ladders and saws should be done when one is not tired. I spent about an hour working out and then I had been moving rocks and pruning for a couple hours before I started what was the most dangerous work. So I got an x-ray and it showed a "minimally displaced break of the lateral malleolus." I had a soft cast for 11 days and now I have a high boot. All the info in this video is fantastic. My doctor gave me about 5% of this. I'm using my mom's fancy walker to get around. It is terrific. It has brakes and an under the seat basket and i put the knee of my bad leg on the padded seat and push around with the right foot. I eat a perfect diet and have been doing some weight lifting and sit ups. I have one of those massage sticks and will try it out tomorrow when I go out in the sun. One thing I would suggest is to keep a large mason jar with a lid by your bed so you can pee in that at night and don't fall trying to get around in the dark. I actually had that happen. There are so many little things to help out like putting all your cleaning and toiletry articles out in one place.

I hope everything is fine now sir.

After removing cast(3 weeks from fracture), lwhen can I start streching excercises? Or what are the excercises recommended during this period. My doctor recommended me heel walking.. but Im uncomfortable while walking.

I love this channel. I have multi-fragmented ankle crack without without dislocation. Now is day number 4 after the accident (I jumped over not high fence, like 2 metres maximum). Böhler angle is perfect and there is no need for surgery now. That is what I heard today from my orthopaedist. But he told me that broken ankle needs 16 weeks to fully recover. In his opition 16 weeks is the time when the heel bone set. What is the truth? When I could walk pretty normal again? What's the timeline? Thank you so much!

When I was 6 I broke 4 of my meditarsals when I fell on it after falling on a scooter. (I was barefoot and going into a knee slide I guess my foot was perpendicular to my body and I sat on it while falling) fast forward to now I have a bad bunion, 2 of my toes are underdeveloped, probably the meditarsels too, and one of them protrudes a bit out the bottom. Whenever I go on those pressure point/weight distribution scanners it looks like I'm standing on a tripod. All pressure focused on the bunion, the protruding bone on the opposite side, and my heel. Would foot surgery make it any better at this point? It's 20 years later.

I'm 66 had an ankle injury at 23yrs had 4 x-rays done at hospital because of the excessive swelling .I was in excruciating pain and deficated on mself. It was determined that the ankle was mashed up. The pain was so unbearable i couldn't sleep. During my visits to clinic I was told that it's best to fuse the bones to which I object. I was always in pain, even now the swelling will ease with I rest but not 💯. I would appreciate any help to alleviate the pain. Thank you.

I dropped my 600+ lb motorcycle on my foot. Small fracture on my metatarsal, it’s been a month and half and it’s been healing. Walking on it with regular shoes now. I think diet and nutrition has helped a lot. Going to start PT soon. I’ve noticed that massages feel so good, especially on my Achilles! Do you recommend sports massages ?
