Question 1

broke foot last year, went to physiotherapy for 2 months, didn't help much. 8 months later it still hurts alot. help?

Accepted Answer

If really broken...: then PT would not do much. Fractures have to be immobilized to heal. Get re-eval'd ASAP- likely with CT or MRI. You may have a malunion that will just get more difficult to treat the longer you wait.

Question 2

broke foot and big toe is slightly turned towards the other toes. buddy tape? seems no one will help me. no ins no $$$$$

Accepted Answer

Bunion: Try purchasing a bunion splint. This will help pull the toe back to its normal position.

Question 3

headache behind my left ear on head 2 days after a collision that caused me a broke foot on the same side of body is this symptoms of head injuries ?

Accepted Answer

May be head injury: It may  be head injury. Just watch for  vomiting, dizziness, light  headedness or weakness of any body  area. Otherwise just  take  over the counter pain  medicines.

Question 4

second toe on left foot won't heal broke foot and put in boot and told me to rest with foot up..  when removed one month later, toe was red, swollen and a big, deep sore on toe.  wound care nurses treated me for 2 weeks and pronounced it healed.  saw doct

Accepted Answer

You : You didn't mention anything about the state of your general health.  I would wonder if you're a diabetic or have circulation problems.

Either way, i'd be concerned about the development of a bone infection.  Has the toe been x-rayed since it ulcerated?  Did anyone try to probe the ulcer to see if it is deep to the bone?  You may need several months of antibiotics, and possibly even surgery if the bone is infected.

If you feel none of your doctors are looking into this, you may want to get another opinion.  Bone infections are serious.

Good luck.

Question 5

broke foot per er doc. big toe points toward others slightly. getting a cam walker but should i buddy tape big toe to next toe. in a lot of pain still.

Accepted Answer

Where is fracture?: If big toe, buddy tape may not help, since the big tow is important for step off - you push off the ground with your big toe, and the second toe will not be able to keep the big toe from moving.

Was an xray taken?  If so, what are the results?

You need to make sure you do not have movement at the fracture site - any motion will cause pain and if it moves, it will not heal.

Question 6

how would you know if you broke your foot?

Accepted Answer

A foot x-ray: Foot x-rays will diagnose most obvious fractures of the foot.  There are less obvious forms of injury, such as a stress fracture that might require specialized testing (such as a bone scan).

If you have pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty putting weight on the foot, or the foot looks different after an injury, get professional care and x-rays done.

Question 7

i took addapex after having my daughter it worked. i broke a foot and have gained weght. would like addapex?

Accepted Answer

Adipex: Is a schedule IV FDA controlled drug and as such it cannot be prescribed not even on the prime HealthTap section. Would suggest seeking help from your primary care physician who might be able to refer you to a weight loss clinic.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Foot finger??: Do you mean  your toe?  Ice to the part to reduce pain and swelling.  See your doctor and have an x-ray to be sure its broken

Question 9

in what way can i tell if i broke my foot?

Accepted Answer

X-ray: Is a start. Further radiographic studies are sometimes necessary. Pain, swelling an inability to bear weight on area or move properly are some symptoms that may represent a fracture.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Podiatrist: The podiatrist is a specialized doctor who treats the foot and ankle for all problems including broken bones.
