Prepare for it to be months before it is back to normal. I broke my cuboid bone in spring 2016 plus had some fun nerve and soft tissue damage that took for-freaking-ever to heal. I was in a boot for 4 and a half months, in PT for 3 more after that and I still got the fun electric shock feeling out of the blue until probably mid-2018. It took until about a year out until I was comfortable in any shoe that was tighter across the top of my foot. I actually buy a lot of my tall boots a half size or so up these days and add my own insoles because of it. The spot of impact (I had a giant defensive lineman size guy step/fall on me) was discolored for over a year. I also had to find irons that donāt bother it to this day. The wider treads and an angle make it far happier. Between this one and my broken back (spring 2018), Iām hoping Iāve collected all my major injuries.
My foot was crushed a year ago and it still hurts to touch. Ironically riding is the least offensive thing that I do. Initial xray said broken on two places, an xray in march said never broken, crushed. Foot doc in March said two years to fully heal
Ugh. That sucks! Now that I can wear my riding boots, riding is the thing that hurts least for me too. Physio and desensitizing the areas with nerve damage have made a huge difference. Iām mostly back to normal day to day activities, except never in cute shoes. Certain things are a hard and fast no - tried to balance up on my feet to do a plank the other day and nearly threw up! And once in a while I do something to remind me itās not as good as I think it is. But itās good enough.
Iām still unable to bear weight on my foot and itās been 9 weeks. The fracture is healed. The bone contusions and soft tissue damage is not.
thisā¦for some reason my fractures donāt show up on X-rays until they start to healā¦I think I am a vampire or something. I have many broken toes and to be honest there is not much you can do. I cut the end of a boot off so I could still ride with the bad one I had a few years ago.
