Anybody with foot pain????
Hi. I'm starting to weight bear after three months. I have terrible foot pain with any pressure I put on it. It's from the ball of my foot to my toes. I'm assuming that it's from all the time that it wasn't being used. Have others experienced this? I'm hoping that didn't have an undiagnosed injury to my foot.
Thanks....amy.
Serious Tibia Plateau Fracture, long-term pain in knee AND ankle, metal coming out
So I'm not the normal type of member of this group, apparently, but forgive me for asking for help anyway. I am nearing 60, sustained a serious tibia plateau fracture nearly 4 years ago, have never regained the ability to walk without pain, have constantly had various degrees of swelling, numbness, and pain in my ankle and foot, have inability to walk without pain in the knee, have been not so good at the PT gig, have another condition that actually caused the accident, which caused the tibia plateau fracture, so that's my excuse for not giving this the full effort. I used to walk for miles nearly every day -- between 3.5 and 6 -- and miss that more than I can express.
What I want to know is, has anyone else had great trouble with their foot/ankle/numbness in foot? I also have snapping in the knee, also have complete deformity of knee from the metal, I would presume. I am scheduled for the metal to come out and then four months later a complete knee replacement. This was a serious tibia plateau fracture, as in the docs who look at the xrays say "this thing is trashed." I was actually unconscious and flooring the car, rigid from a grand mal seizure at the time I did this to myself. My husband had to steer us into a light pole to keep us from wiping out everyone around us. That's the other condition that has preoccupied me. I have slow growing but malignant brain tumor. I may live out a normal lifetime, with a bit of luck, and to do that, I would like to resume the use of my knee.
Please talk to me about the ankle thing, the recovery after the metal is taken out, etc.
