5 months ago i fell. original diagnosis sprain, then diagnosis stress fracture, now the dr thinks lisfranc is tight and gave cortisone shot. it still hurts. help!

Lisfranc: A lisfranc injury is not treated with a cortisone shot but surgical repair. I'd recommend seeing a doctor who knows what they are doing. A lisfranc injury needs to be repaired or your midfoot will suffer chronic pain.

See details: It is time to get another opinion. See an )or another) orthopedist preferably one who is an ankle and foot specialist.

CT: You need a CT scan (some say MRI; not me if Lisfranc). Missing something.
