Update on foot

Although the doctor was TOTALLY convinced it was not a break I had the MRI on Monday and it IS broken. This is why I have been in so much pain. Yesterday my foot was swollen to twice its size which I can only guess came from the MRI from hell. They force your foot into this thing which presses your foot forward for 50 minutes. I couldn't even have a pillow under my knees for my back and I was just about in tears. I did ask her if I could have a minute to release some of the pressure and she said no.
Anyway the diagnosis has been made and my next hurdle is cooking for the next two days.
I just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you all have a low pain day.
All my love

Which bone did you break? Are you still in the boot? Did you get drugs that give you some relief.

My ankle is broken in two fibula but it hasn't been hurting too much, to my surprise. I've beem walking around in the boot without crutches. I think I got carried away and did too much, so I'm planning to keep my foot elevated on the couch and watch the snow fall.

Thank you all so much. Ann it was the second metatarsal bone and since I am in pain management they gave me nothing more. I can't believe that with all my meds I get no relief. I wear the boot outside but it is very painful so I wear an Ace bandage inside.
It is now 6am and the cooking must begin.
Again I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and PLEASE don't overdo. Have a low pain day.
Huggggss Jasmine

When I broke my foot the last time I quickly switched to uggs slippers and boots. It covered the area in sheepskin. I have some pieces of sheepskin that I put over the painful places with the Boot.. But I guess every injury presents its own challenges. Hope you heal quickly. And have a good thanksgiving

Oh, and when I broke my second metatarsal, I spent 6 mos in Birkenstocks, that put no pressure on the area.
