Splinter 5th metatarsal, have plate and pins. Was informed I will no longer have my doc - they won’t tell me why he’s no longer available - of course I’m not happy about that. Had to wait 9 day for surgery; all I know is, if you are going to do this, don’t do it at 63 and when you are fat. Crutches suck. Had an electric ‘Jazzy’ chair for 4 weeks and the 5th week felt I should have kept it one more week - too late. Now into my 6th wk since surgery. I don’t toss and turn much in bed, but still concerned about not wearing the velcro boot. May wait til Wed - week 6 and then sleep w/o it. Was to see Dr. Friday - 2 days after the 6th wk past surgery, but now have to wait another 5 days. Was told I could start putting weight on the heel at week 6, so Friday I will be doing that doc appt or not — I can’t do this any longer. Plus yesterday was the 1st day that I could tell the foot is a lot better. Must add that I’ve had acupuncture and have taken supplements from that doc that I feel have helped the healing go a bit faster. Still hoping to be totally done and out of the cast and walking almost normally at week 8. I do think it does help to have foot out of cast when resting and do some rotating of that ankle. Also felt the need to protect the ‘good’ ankle that is carrying all the load. Have soaked in Epsom Salts and have worn an ankle brace when I have to do an extended errand. Also used a knee scooter instead of crutches most of the time. Crutches are for people under 20.
Yep - Get Better Out There.

Comment on Ankle or AT clicks doing heel raises (need advice) by nickokie

I would guess that it is your ankle too. It hasn’t been able to move much for 10 weeks it looks like you are. It will still be pretty stiff at this point. Mine popped and cracked a lot especially as I worked on ROM from about week 7 to probably week 11. It actually felt good when I could get it to pop, felt like it was loosening up some.

I’d vote your ankle as mine also cracks a lot, though not from heel raises as I’m not there yet!

Bcurr - I wasn’t refering to you with the barefoot. We all do it but I guess I was making the point that at 5 weeks and walking like the video with the foot out and limping is not doing you any favours. Walking properly with a shorter step and only as fast as you can is OK. I think you are around 8 weeks so there is less risk for you. Regarding the other stuff - it’s always good to provoke some disuccsion and thought and you do that well so keep it up.

Stuart - my list was pretty much just off the top of my head and had zero foundation, just wanted to get the idea down!

With regards walking barefoot round the house, not sure if you were referring to me as I don’t think I mentioned being barefoot but it is how I walk round the house, but thats out of habit of never wearing footwear indoors. What are the issues with walking barefoot? So far everything seems OK. I’ve concentrated totally on walking correctly rather than just trying to walk and apart from the “dip and push off” as norm calls it, the rest is pretty good in terms of walking “correctly”.

Bcurr - I agree that some people do focus on the 2 shoes as if that is the end of the recovery but in fact it is the beginning. Getting back into shoes can help people mentally though. It is a bit like reclaiming that part of your life but the earlier you do means longer to be more careful. Regarding this U tube video. I saw this months ago and was not too surprised. As you say, the barefoot walking is not really walking properly. The right foot is turned out and the lack of dorsi flexion gives him a limp. Wearing runners with what I suspect some extra elevation in the heel takes away the need to dorsi flex and the gait is better. I don’t think walking barefoot around the house at this point is particularly helpful if that is what you are doing. I kept a pair of runners handy to me at all times remembering what my doctor and phsyio had told me and wanting to avoid an unfortunate accident. I again think you are right that the focus should be on the end game. Myself, jogging would come after 1 leg heel raise but don’t take this as a disagreement with your thinking, just a personal difference. It’s good you get this type of thinking going.
