A member asked:
For 12 months it hurts to walk or bare a lot of weight on left foot. x-ray shows torn ligaments a bit of bone chipped on crutches. what now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest: Torn ligaments and chipped bone usually takes a good 6-8 weeks of rest to calm down. Then physical therapy and perhaps an orthotic. If rest doesn't do it then surgery may be necessary to relieve symptoms. Go over your MRI with a foot and ankle surgeon for more specific treatment plan.
