Question about my foot

[Amato]

I had my cast taken off today and put into one of those robo boots. I was told to do limited walking on it, and to do what I can bare. My question is, when I step down on it, I get this shocking feeling that runs from my heal to my toes. I let the doctor know and she said it was something which I did not catch and said she isn't to worried about that right now, fracture first. I am still wondering what it is, any of you folks have any ideas?

That's not right. My wife broke her ankle on a jump. Womack said she was good with one fracture healing. She went back after similiar difficulty and, after follow up x-rays, they found another broken bone, lower in her foot. Keep in mind, my wife is hard...walked off the drop zone with the break and went couple days before ever getting x-rays - she wrote it off to an ankle sprain from a hard anding.

I let the doctor know and she said it was something which I did not catch and said she isn't too worried about that right now, fracture first. I am still wondering what it is, any of you folks have any ideas?

She may not be worried about it...but she can't be sued either. Perhaps I'm cynical. I'd go back to get it checked again.

Well, I can't really complain about her because he does take care of me. Today was the second time she has taken me in with out an appointment(and she was busy today too.)

pain is both a sign and symptom....agree with having it rechecked.
Nerve or other tissue 'caught' or trapped within a healing fracture line, nerve injury, inflammation, the list goes on....
have it looked at and don't allow the brush off until all avenues have been exhausted, includes second opinions.
