A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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.

Hi team. My 69 mom broke her foot about 8 weeks ago. She started physiotherapy this week and the Physio instructed her to get the ,"moonboot" for support. Do I get the full boot or the short boot (as her foot was broken not the leg). Please advise?
