Bone bruise in my foot?!


Question: Bone bruise in my foot!?
I had "sprained" or so i thought my ankle in july!. But i didnt know it and did extensive physical activity with it for 5 weeks despite my persistent pain!. I finally went to a second doctor and he said i had a fractured growth plate and put me in a cast for 6 weeks!. Later after much more pain and after getting the cast off he had an MRI done prooving i had a bone bruise!. he placed me in a boot and said it can take about 3 months!. The 3 months limit is almost over and i am still in a quite a bit of pain!. I am going to a different doctor on thursday!. Do you have any idea wat to expect from this doctor!? any advice!? or do you think i should be put back in a cast!? i really need to do something seeing as im not getting better and i have not been in gym for 6 months and i dont have much of a social life any more!. Thanx in advanceWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Feet are complicated!. You can have more than one thing go wrong at a time, or a series of problems--one after the other!. Try to inform yourself about what can go wrong with feet and the terminology and anatomy of the foot and ankle so that you can understand what the new doctor finds!. Write down your questions ahead of the appointment and write down the answers that s/he gives you!. Ask for a referral to physical therapy!. See the sites below for some helpful information!. Good luck, sounds like you have a significant problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i had the same problem when i was at a football camp and i was out for about 5 and a half weeks!. what happend to me is I had some ligiment damage, all you can really do is ice after you walk on it for more than 1 hour a day and try physical therapy if you have and more questions you should ask and i will look to see if i find them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
