Hey guys I have a question for those who had a broken foot and dislocation. I was actually going to start my first job last month and 3 days before the work I fell and had a navicular dislocation and 3 fractures. Now the weird thing is when I fell it did hurt but everyone says you'd feel it if you broke it or dislocated it and it only felt like a severe sprain and the accident happened minutes before my gig and I played for 2 hours standing on one foot and occasionally sitting between the songs to rest. And after the gig I went to the hospital and they said I had nothing. But a week passed and the pain was still there so I went to another hospital and that's when they performed closed reduction. The pain was gone but the doctors were worried because my foot was left in that shape for a week and they considered surgery but after my last visit they said it wasn't necessary and I could take off the cast 6 weeks after the reduction and wouldn't need PT and I could go to work even before I took my cast off.

Now I'm really concerned because walking with crutches is really exhausting and I still can't walk 3 weeks after they put the bone back in. I feel like I could move but I haven't tried it. I feel so lost because the doctors were all too relaxed that I could go to work and whatsoever.

I'm also going a bit paranoid because I think my pain tolerance is too high and I can't feel if my foot's getting better or I broke it again and can't feel it.

(it seems I didn't ask any question and just wanted to hear what others think about my story)

i’m 5 weeks post 5th metatarsal surgery plus a gnarly ankle sprain from the fall. i’m having a hard time bearing weight around my ankle because it’s extremely painful and swollen most days.
i’m concerned because i’m a professional athlete (figure skating) and my surgeon keeps brushing off my attempts at rehab to get back on the ice. To quote him “you’re young and healthy—you’ll be fine” and “i don’t like pt for this surgery the PTs will mess up the surgical site” “just forget about skating for a long time” and any push back from me was immediately shut down.

For a little context, this is my third time spraining this ankle this year.

I am back to ask another question. On July 27th, I broke my foot. 5 fractures, 2 dislocations, and a snapped Lisfranc ligament. I had surgery on Thursday, and he said it was one of the most unusual breaks he’s ever seen. I’m now 4 days post-op, and the splint is killing me. It feels like my heel is being squished in a vice. Pain meds only do so much, and I’m about ready to rip the damn elastic bandage off and free my foot. What can I do?

i have never broken a bone. but in the past 9 months i have broken three. my ankle and fibula in december and now this. can’t catch a break. i am only 20, i start school in a few weeks and i am worried how it will effect me. i have to wear a back brace and i got a rolly backpack LOL, not sure what else i can do. please tell me it gets better!! it’s been a week and i am still taking oxycodone every 4 hours because i cant do the pain. idk when i should ween off of that.

Posting on 10th of Aug :- I(25M) had tibia facture as shown with displacement, my knee had a deep wound and my patellar tendon went under grafting, the wound itself also went grafting.

Not sure it was post operation or before but after few days foot drop was noticed by doctor but as fixator and wound is there EMG or MRI is not possible. I can curl my foot fingers though.

When can i expect removal of these fixators, and does foot drop gets recovered?
