#Lisfranc injury recovery time plus#

Plus the metatarsals and the lisfranc bones feel very fragile although improving every day. He recommended I start putting weight with the booth as pain tolerates (said 'we've been very conservative with 6 weeks non-weight bearing), but it still feels like the fractures have not healed because the places where the fractures are still hurt. Went to the ortho surgeon this week - 3rd set of XRay to confirm that injury is still stable and healing. No dislocation fortunately (!), partially torn plantar lisfranc ligament, and non-displaced fracture on 4th metatarsal, cuboid, and medial cuneiform. I am in the 7th week of Lisfranc injury, no surgery. I hope you are doing better every day! I also am in the same situation. Rommel, previous email was supposed to be for you, sorry mixed the names. Hope this helps you relieve some of the pain and I am hopeful for successful and fast recovery for you. You can order it from Amazon, it is all based on natural Chinese ingredients. Thus far I've found the Chinese medicine Zheng Gu Shui Liniment to help with pain and I think it helps fractures heal faster as well as help blood circulation which helps the ligaments to heal. Also, due to low blood circulation in the foot, it seems that the healing time in bone fractures and foot ligaments vary and it is tough to estimate early on. From all I've read there is no upside in bypassing the surgeon's instructions as the ligaments need time to heal to hold the bones together.

Also, I feel like the pain in your foot is an indication if it is the right time to start bearing weight. The foot still feels sore but I feel there is improvement every day (I am learning to be very patient:-) and despite a strenuous job and meetings with clients I intend to not weight bear until the doctor allows me to. Have a surgeon who I trust and who did weight-bearing X-Rays with different views to confirm that this is a stable injury (i.e. JR, I also am in the sixth week of a non-displaced lisfranc injury. well I was wondering if there is anyone out there in my predicament? What is the prognosis? my dr tells me it will be at least a year before I will know how well my foot heals.AARGHHHHH! I am just beginning physical therapy for turning my bad foot outward when I walk, a bad habbit I formed when trying to keep from bumping it when it was so tender. I can only wear shoes with good arch support, my foot swells to an incredible size at the end of the day, and I had to buy all new shoes to fit my noe 1 1/2 size bigger foot. So, here I am 16 weeks later and I am in quite a bit of pain. I then wore the immobilization boot for three weeks, 2 weeks at all times and 1 wee only if I was going to be on my feet for a long period of time.

Durring that time I had my cast changed 3 times and x-rays taken (3 views, flat, side, and kind of twisted) each time the cast was removed. Well, I wore a cast for just under 11weeks, 5 non-weight baring, and 6 gradually inceasing the weight I put on it. she said surgery is reccommended for dislocations of 2mm or more. She informed me that due to my injury(dislocation) being just under1.8mm I did not need surgery. The orthopedic did not diagnose it at first, but i pointed it out to him and then he sent me on to a podiatrist specializing in sports injuries. in the urgent care who pointed out the injury and sent me to an orthopedic dr. My foot rolled and I collapsed, ever so gracefully, i had a great dr. I fell, in early june 2006, down my back steps. Hello, I wrote a while ago, then my computer crashed! So I am writing now a new topic due to my NOT having surgery for my Lisfranc injury.
