Chris- Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 Turns out I have an avulsion fraction in my heel, which isn’t uncommon in folks with neuropathy…Basically years of micro-fractures in my heel lead to the tension from my Achilles pulling the bone into two pieces. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 So is that a pretty positive outcome then, all should recover okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. In fact I’d stop buying anyone a game who isn’t respectful towards you. Not saying Bacon isn’t, I just hate to see him happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might need surgery depending on what the CT scan shows/doctor thinks but it’s not a guaranteed necessity and from what the doctor said/I’ve read it’s an easier recovery. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUFKAK Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Ortho is my weakest knowledge base but I’d say it’s likely that OR is minimal unless Ct shows a complex fx but even then ortho loves casts and boots. At least you didn’t need a reduction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 From one foot injured user to another, I feel your pain. I was in the er 10 days myself because of my foot. I thought it was a bunion or a stress fracture from work. Plus the pup went from resting on my chest to a jump backwards onto said foot. I went to work because I needed my holiday pay, but went home an hour later to the er. Turns out I had gout in my right foot after negative X-rays. It was close to an 8 on pain. My 10’s have been a pinch nerve in my back (2 months ago) broken foot/ankle(25yrs ago) and my right wrist popped tendon/pinch loose ligament for 3 years. You’re gonna keep that leg propped up and iced if they don’t put you in a cast/walking cast when you leave. Keep us updated and hope you get better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 Saw the PA today (surgeon is on paternity leave until next week)...She still needs the doctor's opinion, but it's looking like I will need surgery because the tendon partially ruptured when the fracture happened. They're going to hook me up with a knee scooter and psychiatrist though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though idk with your condition it matbe nerve pain wouldn’t be as bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though idk with your condition it matbe nerve pain wouldn’t be as bad? Sorry to say but I think nerve pain probably hurts more then the break(from my personal experience) When I popped my tendon in my right wrist, I would occasional get the ligament pinched between my joints. It literally felt like I was breaking my wrist, but over and over again and not knowing when the next one was coming. Although I had no cast to wear, arm brace for 4 months and then nothing again until I found a doctor. One who took my pain/issue and actually looked to see what could be done to fix my wrist. When I broke my foot/ankle I was in pain but the shock/adrenaline kept most of mine at bay in comparison with my wrist. I also partially tore my achilles about 5 years ago and that was painful too, but was again damaged from that break. Plus last month I pinched a nerve in my back and fucking everything hurt, even turning on/off the bathroom sink tap. I usually try to forgo the prescribed drugs and let Advil/Tylenol and my weed do its job, but I needed the drugs this time. sorry to be a Debbie downer, but it’s gonna be rough for the first few weeks. Stay strong and just don’t shut yourself away from family/friends going through this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a bit in limbo in terms of recovery...When I saw my actual doctor, he decided he wanted to have an MRI done - and he was pretty optimistic based on actually seeing me that I might avoid surgery.

legend Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Sorry to hear that Chris! That really sucks. At times like these I try and take comfort in knowing that it will be fixed and mostly you just have to wait through it.
