I searched all true the internet for care, I was scammed by internet fraudsters times without numbers… until a friend of mine who stays in the UK introduced me to a friend of hers who was cured of the same disease, and she introduced me to Dr Itua who cured her from Breast Cancer by this email/WhatsApp +2348149277967, drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com. I contacted him and he promised that all will be fine and I had faith.He sent me his herbal medicines through Courier service and i was instructed on how to drink it for three weeks to cure,I followed the instruction given to me and Today am a happy woman again.

I played it safe and only did it about half the time I was there, just took breaks for a song here and there, and other than being a little sore the next day my foot seemed fine. The last few days it seems like it's been more sore and such, but that's probably from a bit of overuse at work. Chasing up to a dozen 2-3 year olds around for a few hours at a time can definitely wear you out. I've been using it normally for a few weeks and sometimes forget that I should probably still take it easy from time to time. I have to remind myself to sit down and rest occasionally. <br /><br />I've never been much of a runner, so I haven't worried about making myself run or anything. I feel like my foot should be okay with a little running by now though, considering I did Zumba a couple weeks ago. Lots of movement and such with that. I think most of my reluctance to try running on it now (besides not being a runner) is more psychological than physical because I don't want to re-injure it. I'd probably be fine, though a little sore afterwards.Chelsea Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940714246827220939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693204241798103436.post-81648800959675236632020-03-03T15:44:07.916-07:002020-03-03T15:44:07.916-07:00Thanks so much for posting your experience. It'...Thanks so much for posting your experience. It's giving me hope that my road to recovery could be smooth, even if it's going to be long. On 2/13/20 (same day as your last post) I fell down a short 3" single step that I didn't see and fractured my 5th metatarsal on my left foot. It's a displaced fracture and looks pretty bad. We were on vacation when it happened, I was lucky to get in with a podiatrist the next day and he immediately put me in a boot, on crutches and told me to be non weight bearing until I could get a follow-up appointment once we got home. Since then I've seen 2 orthopedic surgeons and another podiatrist. They all seem to have a different game plan. Today's orthopedic doc was the first to order a CT scan before laying out a treatment plan. Doc #3, a podiatrist, recommended surgery immediately. Doc #2, an orthopedic surgeon, recommended weight bearing as tolerable and return in 4 weeks for follow up (his x-rays were sitting, not sure the fracture looked as bad as it does in the standing/weight bearing x-rays). We'll see what the CT scan shows and where I go from here. This is so frustrating. <br /><br />Reading these posts crushed me today. The consistent theme is time and it doesn't sound like surgical outcomes have been as promising as one would think. I'm a very active 42 year old and fitness is extremely important to me, mainly for my mental health. I'm trying to prepare myself for the fact that my return to distance running might not happen for a long time. Today has been a hard day.

I had the surgery about 10 weeks ago and my foot is functioning normally now. I only have a slightly limited range of motion in one direction, but it's been improving already. The foot getting tired is normal. I had that for the last few weeks while I've been walking on it, but it's finally getting used to walking again.Chelsea Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940714246827220939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693204241798103436.post-17857356962280681252020-02-13T17:18:48.730-07:002020-02-13T17:18:48.730-07:0010 week update!

I've been out of the boot for the last two weeks and at first it was tricky walking normally without it, but I could walk fine as long as I had shoes on. Now I can walk normally with or without shoes, and barely notice any lingering effects, just a bit of touch sensitivity occasionally. As far as I can tell, I have pretty much my full range of motion back already, so I don't need to go to physical therapy or anything. It does make me laugh that the kids at work keep asking me if my foot is still broken, even though I haven't worn the boot in a couple weeks.Chelsea Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940714246827220939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693204241798103436.post-43457097609408358262020-01-17T22:58:00.167-07:002020-01-17T22:58:00.167-07:00On December 16th, I fell off the curb, rolled my a...On December 16th, I fell off the curb, rolled my ankle, hit my knee and landed on my hip. I thought for sure I broken my knee but it ended up I had a Jones fracture. Orthopedist put me in a boot, told me stay off of it totally for 4 weeks and use crutches or knee cart. I've been very good about doing what the doctor told me but I'm bored to tears. I spend a lot of my time eating, making sure I get enough calories, protein,calcium, Etc. I'm 60 years old moderately active and I'm concerned I won't be able to do my activities anymore. I'm big into yoga and from what I'm reading it sounds like this injury doesn't heal well. Will this be the end of yoga for me? Even walking my dogs? I go back to the orthopedist in two weeks. The good news is I just started walking on my boot and I have no pain �� (unless I move it in a wonky way). my foot does get tired though in the evening. The bruising is all gone now though and there's no more swelling. I'm hoping for a good report from the doctor when I go in next but from all these posts I'm reading it sounds like it's going to be a very slow healing process. So bummed. What a stupid injury.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10407315149482774199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693204241798103436.post-6404714003956022752020-01-15T23:12:25.570-07:002020-01-15T23:12:25.570-07:00So I had my 6 week appointment today and was told ...So I had my 6 week appointment today and was told to keep wearing the boot for two more weeks, then they set me up with another appointment for in four weeks. I'm hoping that's the last one I need.<br /><br />I've been walking and putting weight on my foot for the last two weeks, and as long as it's in the boot it's not too bad, other than the heel needing padding that will last more than a day or two. I need to get some nicer insoles or something. Maybe my heel would stop getting sore so much with that. The blister that was on the back of my heel from the cast is pretty much gone, so the sore heel is from putting weight on it. Occasionally at home I walk around barefoot a bit, but I always put the boot on for going to work and other places. I started back at work a couple days after I started walking on my foot again, and the boot keeps it protected and supported while I'm dealing with kids all the time. I've even been able to pick up and carry kids around at work thanks to the boot.<br /><br />I originally started out using crutches with the boot when I was allowed to start putting weight on my foot, and sometimes the scooter, but I decided they were too much of a hassle after a couple days. So for most of the last two weeks I haven't been using the crutches or scooter much at all. Then this last weekend I got a shorter, more comfortable boot from my brother from when he needed one a few years ago. It's been so much easier to move and walk around in the shorter one. It allows me to move my ankle more than the taller one, which means I can do things like crouch down and walk almost normally now.Chelsea Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940714246827220939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693204241798103436.post-48183764389113196842020-01-01T20:55:02.967-07:002020-01-01T20:55:02.967-07:00About 4 weeks since surgery, and I'm allowed t...About 4 weeks since surgery, and I'm allowed to start putting weight on my foot now. I managed to walk around without crutches or scooter for a bit last night, but my foot is a little sore today. I am glad to see the progress though. We'll just have to see how going back to work tomorrow goes, as well as working extra hours next week. Hopefully it's not too much for my foot to handle. Luckily, I can get away with sitting quite a bit at my job, so it should be okay. I just can't chase the kids around.Chelsea Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940714246827220939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693204241798103436.post-12397174975310581662019-12-18T20:36:03.152-07:002019-12-18T20:36:03.152-07:00Technically it's been a bit over two weeks sin...Technically it's been a bit over two weeks since my break, but just under two weeks since the surgery. I had my follow-up appointment today and got the cast off. So now I'm in a boot again, but since I broke the fourth metatarsal as well as the fifth, they decided to have me go two more weeks without putting weight on my foot. After that, they said I can gradually start putting weight on it. I have another appointment in four weeks. We'll see how it's looking then.<br /><br />At one point after writing my last update I couldn't stand the cast digging into my heel constantly, so we cut it open to add some extra padding and then wrapped it back up. Technically it was a splint and not a cast, so only the back half was hardened. The rest was just padding and it was all wrapped up in elastic bandages, so once we had adjusted it we just held the edges together and wrapped it back up. That little bit of extra padding made a huge difference in how much pressure there was on that spot. Surprisingly they didn't seem upset at all that I had cut it open. The doctor's assistant was actually telling me that the kind of splint they used takes longer to harden, so someone's finger probably left an indent while they were moving me and it hardened like that. Hence the one spot that was constantly bugging me. The back of my heel does look a little rubbed raw.<br /><br />Our flights home yesterday went a lot smoother and more comfortably than our flights at the start of our trip. We even go to sit together on the last one with nobody sitting next to us. I'm kind of surprised there were so many empty seats on that flight considering Christmas is a week away. Anyway, I enjoyed the trip and I'm glad to be home.Chelsea Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940714246827220939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693204241798103436.post-91809779316001287152019-12-13T12:53:15.701-07:002019-12-13T12:53:15.701-07:00That was no sugar!

Got a Jones fracture stepping down from chair, no shoes, landed on chair base, rolled. I chose conservative treatment, no surgery. Non weight bearing in AirCast. At 4 weeks x-ray showed little healing but radiology report said start of interval healing. At 8 weeks mostly healed! My Podiatrist said to start walking w AirCast walking boot 10-15 minutes per hour. If pain goes up, stop & rest. After 3 weeks, where shoe w same restrictions. I have very little pain w walking except towards end of day. Is an emotional journey not doing much activity for 3 months.

Also, the IV was my least favorite part of the surgery. It was uncomfortable while it was in, and was like pulling off a bunch of bandaids at once when removed. They did a numbing block on my leg, so the lower half of my leg stayed numb for a couple days after the surgery. Since it wore off I've been taking Ibuprofen to manage any pain or swelling.<br />The knee scooter has been a huge help this week, especially with all the flights, traveling, and activities we've been doing. I fell twice with the crutches before we got it, and I'm glad in jiu jitsu we learned and practiced how to fall safely. The scooter makes getting around so much easier, except when stairs or uneven ground or pavement are involved. Gotta be careful on bumps. I've made sure to rest whenever I get the chance. Overall I've barely had any pain this week. Mostly just irritation around the heel from not enough padding between it and the cast, which fluctuates based on positioning and how swollen my foot ends up at any given point. A few times I've had muscle spasms up my ankle and calves, but the orthopedist said that can happen with broken bones. I've also had general aches in my ankle and lower leg from the weight of the cast and lack of movement in the joint. I can wiggle my unbroken toes just fine, but moving the broken ones can cause pain.<br />So, other than the occasional annoying aches and pains I've mentioned, the only big problem/annoyance is the lack of mobility I've been having to get used to. My husband and family are more than willing to help me with whatever, but I do miss being able to do things myself all the time. I'm slowly figuring out ways to be more independent when I can. Can't exactly drive with this broken foot, but at least since we're visiting family on vacation we're not working and I'm not stuck at home alone with just the cats for company.

I broke the 4th metatarsal as well as the Jones fracture. At least for me the process has been quick so far. Broke my foot on a trampoline at a trampoline park on Monday, got it checked at the Instacare Tuesday(yesterday), appointment with the orthopedist Wednesday(today), and I'll have the surgery to get the screw in Thursday(tomorrow). Hopefully with the quick diagnosis and treatment it will speed up the recovery process. That's why I opted to go with the surgery so soon. <br /><br />The ironic thing about how I broke my foot is that it wasn't while I was doing flips over the wipeout bar or anything like that. I was just fine doing that. Instead, I did a small jump into a roll onto a platform, like I had done a minute before, and heard a couple cracks and got sharp pain. I sat on the platform for a bit while everyone played freeze tag, and eventually managed to limp over to the main floor before my husband carried me over to sit down with ice on it. My one-year-old niece managed to step on it at one point, and let me tell you, that probably hurt more than the initial injury. Definitely cried at that point. I ended up having to go to work for a couple hours the next morning, but luckily it was during breakfast so the kids weren't running around and I could just sit and supervise until I could leave. My mother-in-law took me straight to the Instacare after that, and I wasn't even done filling out the paperwork by the time they called me back. Same with the orthopedist they sent me to today. Barely finished the paperwork before getting called back. The Instacare put me in a boot and I've been getting around the house a bit on crutches and an office chair. We're planning on getting a knee scooter as soon as possible. I hope the surgery goes well and I can heal quickly, but we'll see. <br /><br />What a great way to spend the holiday season... At least my jobs are understanding and flexible, but sounds like I may need to look into a less active source of income, though, because taking care of a bunch of small children sounds like it won't work out very well for a while. If I remember, I'll give updates about my recovery to help others who get a Jones fracture.Chelsea Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940714246827220939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693204241798103436.post-86534143070410120862019-11-24T12:35:31.500-07:002019-11-24T12:35:31.500-07:00Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your experiences. ...Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your experiences. I've had a jones fracture on my left foot 6 weeks ago and I have an cray scheduled two days to check out how the conservative treatment is fairing. I was so eager to get rid of the boot and crutch since I dont feel anymore pain for the last 3 weeks. However, reading these stories, they confirmed what my doc had expressed about a slow road to recovery. The first time he mentioned that it will take 6 months before I can return to soccer, I almost passed out of out sadness. Now, your stories have confirmed my fear and I'm no longer in denial of the slow recovery process. At this point I just have to embrace it again and go back to a low key lifestyle for longer. Thank you for sharing your stories. I really appreciate it. <br /><br />One tip I can share: instead of conventional crutches, you can use the walk hands free leg peg. It comes in handy to giving you back access to your hands without rendering you immobile. A friend had had it for some ankle injury and I'm so glad it has helped me. I use it even at work in the office or costco shopping haha. You use have to deal with states and pity looks from people once in a while; or you also get people tell you how they would have loved to get access to that type of crutch when they had their lower leg injuries. Anyways, it seems the mental battle is the hardest; stay strong as you recover.

Stopped wearing the boot for day to day activities, except for exercising, September 10. Saw some healing on the x-ray on September 10 (15 weeks later). Orthopedic doctor was recommending surgery if not healed by October 10. Went for a second opinion (week 18) and the foot & ankle ortho did indicate that it was healing, but very slow and that is to be expected with the Jones fracture. She recommended that I begin some physical therapy, to strengthen the foot and ankle, as well a spring lite orthodic plate to wear in my shoe for stability. Strength trained for the first two months, back to boot camp in August with many modifications. Ortho has advised me to continue to wear the boot until more strength is built up. Absolutely no running or jumping for at least another 6 weeks - which will be 5 1/2 months! This is craziness!! The never ending fifth metatarsal fracture!

Third said Pseudo Jones fracture and to wear boot and weight-bear as tolerated, come back in four weeks. Went back today and now they said "Oh it's a Jones fracture," so NO weight-bearing, use crutches and a scooter. I said, "What about a bone stimulator?" 'Insurance won't pay for that; we're not quite ready." Well, I'm ready! The doc said, "What is it, exactly, you're so eager to get back to?" Uh. Life. Walking, Standing, Cooking, Taking care of my kid. So, not happy with that visit as I've been weight bearing for a week and a half, minimal pain, shows healing but also that it's a Jones so they're being conservative. And if it four weeks, it doesn't look better, surgery or a bone stimulator. Screw that. Just ordered a bone stimulator. Frankly, I don't care if insurance pays for it. How is it that no one's invented bone glue and we still have to use aluminum walking sticks circa 1592 for half a year to heal? Are you kidding me??? I think the medical industry needs to step up its game. Ain't you got anything better than that? Thanks for letting me vent. Not happy. Diagnosed, misdiagnosed, then rediagnosed with a wait-and-see attitude. What is the delay is trying a bone stimulator NOW? It's like saying, "Hey, you're bleeding, but let's see how bad you're actually going to bleed. I don't want to waste a band-aid on you."cwgalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738026240764297880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693204241798103436.post-4855101338429971052019-08-31T20:37:29.522-06:002019-08-31T20:37:29.522-06:00I got my Jones fracture on my right foot on May 7,...I got my Jones fracture on my right foot on May 7, 2019.

I walk with a crazy limp and I have incredible knee pain at my meniscus area. I have been to PT and they have given me some exercises but no improvement yet. I can't believe how long this takes to heal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693204241798103436.post-11577262453895456672019-08-30T12:00:39.465-06:002019-08-30T12:00:39.465-06:00I have been in a boot for almost 3 months.

It is indeed disheartening to know how long it takes for it to heal. I am imagining the days to be really slow for me but I feel somehow encouraged to hear your stories about this.

The bones are made of "living" protein, and depriving your body of proteins during the healing process will result in a soft bony callus, instead of the rigidity necessary for bone strength.<br /><br />Take calcium and lysine supplements :<br />Calcium (3) is essential for bone health, however, if your body does not get the correct amino acids, it will not be as productive as it could be. Lysine is extremely important when it comes to calcium absorption, so make sure you include it in your diet.<br /><br />If you need professional help then contact <a title="injury recovery & personal trainer newport beach" href="https://www.activerecoveryfitness.com/" rel="nofollow">injury recovery & personal trainer Newport Beach</a> and recover faster.Makeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078621348410375741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693204241798103436.post-6103387154668990382018-12-14T19:58:39.980-07:002018-12-14T19:58:39.980-07:00Thanks for posting your story.

It occurred in Colorado where I saw an orthopedist. I was put in the boot. At about 2 weeks a friend flew out to drive my dog and me home. At 5 weeks, back home, I’ve just seen an orthopedist here. He said it is healing well but told me about the surgical (screw) option — recommended it to me as an active person (even still at 69 years of age.) I’ve been seriously considering it. But my cousin warns me of possible future mobility problems. Have those of you who had the surgery had any long term mobility (like bending/flexing) troubles afterwards?
