]]> Comment on Hello to all, this is my first post :) by admin http://fastcafe.com/blog/?p=3#comment-54 admin Wed, 11 Feb 2009 18:44:20 +0000 http://fastcafe.com/gallery/?p=3#comment-54 My break took a long time to heal. I couldn't return to normal work on my feet for 4 months, at which point it was healed enough, but not completely, and was still healing slowly. I was put into a walking boot in the first couple days, without being allowed to put any weight on it for approximately the first month. After about 2 months I could walk without crutches. There was quite a bit of muscle loss, which I've gained back after physical therapy and months of regular working on my feet. I really had little / no pain associated with the break itself, the scraps on my skin stung more than anything. 20 X-rays and a dozen visits to my foot doctor. I sometimes feel tiny pains in the break area, probably normal. I did lots of internet research on this break and it's very common. The healing time varies from a few weeks to a year (worst case I saw, involved incorrect healing and a surgical break/fusion correction). Being my right foot, I drove myself around with my left foot (thank you automatic chevy transmission!) and did aquire a handicap temporary placard which I graciously used while I had crutches. I think if you click one of the 2 pictures, you can see more detailed injury pictures. WARNING: Contains graphic images! NOT for people with weak stomachs. My break took a long time to heal.

Wow, I saw your X-Ray and that’s quite a break! The X-Ray shows how this could be a real painful injury. A friend at work was diagnosed with the same Jones Break injury. I work as a Safety Professional in a National Park and am 60 years old. His injury is the first that I ever heard-of and am researching a bit. So-far I find that this isn't a rarity, but apparently others have had problems healing. This seems to take quite a long time to heal, because of circulation issues there. He’s a bit older than you, so I think he may have a tough time with getting back after 5 – 6 weeks of healing. I personally had a bone in my foot fused a couple of years ago and it healed very well. Please write back to comment if you have any experiences that would help my colleague. My hopes for your quick return to all health. 1/30/2009

It has only been 3 weeks and I also work in the rest. business. I was wondering how long was it before you were able to put weight on your foot in a walking boot and return to work. Do you still feel any after affects of the injury? I am also athletic and was wondering if you have returned to running? Any info would help. I also have the same injury.
