Foot and ankle "bone brusie"
I have a bad bone bruise or stress fracture to the talus and cuboid bones in my
Left foot. Depends on which Dr. I ask one calls it a bruise one calls it a stress fracture. I was hard casted for 3 weeks and in a cam for another week
And then back in to a hard cast again now for another 4 weeks. The cam
Was pure agony it was twisting my ankle all around.I saw another Dr. in
The same office for the second cast and he assured me that there was no
Soft tissue damage showing up on the MRI that was done. He discovered
The injury to the Talus it was originally thought it was just the
Cuboid bone. The cast was the better way to go. I still have 1+ week to go
In this one I still have some discomfort in the ankle joint the Dr.
Advised to try to walk on it 1 week prior to seeing him if tolerable. My
Question is if it still aches I wouldn't walk on it. Should I expect some
Pain this far into this 8 weeks and if so would I expect to be re
Casted yet again? This one has loosened up a bit. What is a realistic time
Table for this kind of injury? I know you can't see the extent of the
Bruise/fracture but a ball park answer? I know PT is in my future as
Well.Thank you so much for reading.:)
