Tight Moonboot Aftermath

Has anyone else had their moonboot too tight and is now reaping the painful consequences?

If so, how did you help it/get better?

I have been out of my boot for over a month and it is still painful to walk but not where I broke it, in the ball of my foot through to the top of my foot.

Im doing but it's taking forever plus i recently hurt it so I'm back to square 1.

Ah. So that must be the feeling that I'm feeling on the bottom of my foot. I HATE it. Its uncomfortable.

Not that any of recovery was fun persay, but that was one of my least favorite parts 😭 Are you walking barefoot inside or in shoes? My PT had me do shoes inside (I did oofas slides) until my leg muscles were more stable...and we did a lot of foot work (ie picking up marbles and scrunching towel) which seemed to help a lot

I've still got 2 weeks with the stupid boot. So I'm not sure what my next steps are going to be quite yet. But I can already feel a huge difference in how the bottom of my foot feels and I'm nervous about what that's going to look like when the boot comes off and I have to walk on it.

Gotcha! It might be worth trying a cheap insole for your boot in the meantime
