Slipper Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I hurt my foot quite some time ago - maybe eight or nine months. I can't remember exactly what I did to it, but I recall dropping something on it, like a chair leg or something of that nature. It hurt for several weeks, but eventually settled down unless I did a lot of walking or (especially) driving. It's still like that except a bulge has formed at the base of the two toes where I hurt it. That bulge hurts. My husband can no longer rub the top part of my foot, it feels like it's badly bruised. (And again, this was about 8 or 9 months ago). It's hurting again because I had to do a lot of driving recently. I realized recently that I've been walking on the side of that foot to avoid pressing the bottom of my foot against the floor. If it's broken so long ago, what could they possibly do to help it? It's concerning me because our family is starting an exercise routine and I can't jump or walk long distances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonM Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 My dh has been walking around with a broken metatarsal since Feb. He has been diagnosed since May. They have planned surgery for the 17th of this month. Bones don't always heal, but they can pin them. I would get an exray. Find out what is going on since it isnt getting better. Btw, my dh's foot is much better since they put him in a splint. God Bless, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma_Bear Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'd get an xray and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
