I fractured my lisfranc on August 1st 2023 and My foot was in a cast for about 6 weeks and I was home for about 4 months. When I tried ro go back out to work in December, I developed plantar fasciitis. I was granted 6 more weeks of leave and I started therapy...therapy helps but I find that my foot is taking too long to heal. It is now April 2024 and I still have to elevate my leg, ice and I'm still experiencing cramps in my calf, problems balancing and walking. What do you suggest?

Broken and dislocated tibia and fibula 5 months ago. 57 years old. 3 surgeries. A plate and 10 screws holding things together. Was just released from using boot. Full weight bearing. My issue is gaining ankle flexibility, toes up or forward stride. The iWalk was a game changer for me. Hands free walking to carry things and no wheeled device can go up or down stairs. There is a weight limit and you need good balance. It's good for keeping your hip active. Crutches are the worst.
I have a Achilles tendon torn but I was wondering how long does that usually take to heal? also should I get the operation or can therapy be good enough to help.
I had a broken left ankle over 12 years ago in early March 2012 in a bad car accident. I had surgery on that ankle the following afternoon. It took me almost 5 months in recovery time in walking normal. I had both of my parents during my recovery time. I even did sprained my right ankle in a bad fall just outside of my apartment on October 19th,2017. I tore a ligament in my right ankle in that fall. I had my cell phone with me during that fall. I called 911 first and then my mother. I thought that I broken that ankle when I tried to get up those 2 times. My ankle and foot was swollen and really bruised all over. I didn’t drive for 2 weeks for that ankle. It was a little bit harder to drive at first. I did used a walker for that ankle for distance in walking. I also used a walker for walking for my broken ankle in walking or used it when I had to go for 2 feet in hopping. Even using a wheelchair for my broken ankle. I do know how to used crutches but, I didn’t used them for my broken ankle. I did drive a car when I had the boot on my left ankle. There is no way to drive a car when the boot on my right ankle.
I broke my tibia, fibula and shattered my left ankle 6 weeks ago. I still can’t begin to try to be weight bearing for 2 more weeks. I have pretty bad nerve pain on the outside of my left foot. I have three plates and 13 screws. I enjoyed hearing about the devices you recommended along with the exercises as I have completely lost all of my flexibility….not only in my lower injured leg and ankle but in my calves, hamstrings, hips and back. Definitely going to try to put your recommendations to use. Wish you were in Georgia!!
I am 8 months out on 5th metatarsal stress fracture. It’s still Broken. I’ve had a horrible journey and medical advice or lack of it & still don’t have a good doctor. I’m scared my foot will never heal so I appreciate your information!!!
Hey how are u doing now I just meet with an accident so it's 5th metatarsal facture same has u am bit worried is there any precautions for it it's been 6 months it's not yet healed
This video is amazingly straight to the point! Great information!! I’m 10 weeks post op total ankle replacement. I can’t get a PT appointment for another month. Looking for massages and exercises to help with my swelling and stiffness
Thank you for supporting us! If reasonable, we would appreciate a quick rating from you, and a good rating makes a MASSIVE difference for us! g.page/r/CZWo3fJqJrVpEBM/review Thank you for being such a great fan; we appreciate you watching!
SAME! I broke my foot 6 weeks ago and this has been so much more informative then anything my dr has told me & I’ve asked him half the questions answered in this video!
The video gave me the idea what I should put on my fractured ankle when it got sprained 2 months ago. I am on the healing process. My medication is 60 days more. I just put elastic bandage but now I will buy ankle brace.
Glad it was helpful and informative! You are a great fan, and we appreciate you! 😊❤🙏 If possible, we would appreciate a quick review from you; these make a HUGE difference to us! g.page/r/CaxJ9b-O6o27EBM/review Thanks again for watching! All the best to you!
I just switched to a forearm crutch to help me relearn to walk and it is great because it prevents me from leaning into the single crutch so that I can re-center my weight properly. I also quit physiotherapy because the physio assistant knew the exercises but did not understand the connection of how alignment, stiffness and pain interferes with doing exercises to strengthen the muscles and did not know how to design progressive exercises. So I will figure it out on my own.
I have really enjoyed to watch this video it has covered a lot of ground that I needed I think he's an awesome doctor and I hope you both well for him as much as I do have good walk-ins thank you thank you doctor
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope that my video was informative as well. You are a great fan, and we appreciate you! 😊❤🙏 If possible, we would appreciate a quick review from you; these make a HUGE difference to us! g.page/r/CaxJ9b-O6o27EBM/review Thanks again for watching! All the best to you!
I am using the wheel chair that you showed and the mobilegs ultra crutches. Very ergonomic, Love them! they don’t hurt your pits. I am walking on my boot with them now…3 weeks before the 6 week post op mark… I don’t know if ok, but with these crutches and the boot, I don’t feel anything, and feels good.
I am recovering from an open compound fracture on the ankle. Plates have been fitted, the surgery went well. The swelling, the doctors are left saying, may take another two years, but I want to be back on both my feet. I making slow progress in movements of the ankle, but I am struggling. Do you have anything specific for me? What you mentioned above, I have followed most of those things
I sprained my foot and screwed up my knee when I fell a few days ago. ER gave me crutches. Horrible. I'm desperate to find a better solution. This is very helpful information. Thank you!
Hello, thanks for your videos! I have learned so much from watching! I broke my ankle 7 weeks ago. I have a displaced Fibula Fracture with a Tibia Fracture to go along with it. My injury required surgery but unfortunate circumstances created a time problem and 3 weeks later, I did not have surgery. My Tibia bone has healed nicely and my Dr. seems happy with my Tibia healing progress. I am in an Air Cast boot and have just started weigh bearing at 6 weeks. I am carefully doing stretching exercises with bands and a ball. My toes are painful but getting better. I have completely lost my calf muscle. I am making progress with the boot but it is uncomfortable. My foot is still swelling considerably. I am concerned with having a displaced fracture not healing properly due to no surgery. I'm concerned of a possibility of rebreaking my ankle. I would welcome any advice on how to continue to improve my ankle. Thanks!
Glad that my video was helpful to you! Thanks for the great response! I really hope that you get better soon! If possible, we would appreciate a quick and easy rating from you, and a good rating makes a BIG difference for us! g.page/r/CSudMUZfg68sEBM/review Thanks again for watching! All the best to you Kathy!
Best thing ive used so far for my broken ankle is the Iwalk3.0 hands free crutch if u can stand on one leg for 30 seconds you are likely able to use. I use a knee scooter as well but its more of a pain expcept in the house. But the iwalk allows you to be fairly normal go outside walk the dog
Thank you for this video… I am in Canada, but thought it helpful. I fractured my outer ankle at Christmas, and it was displaced …had to have surgery Jan 4th. I have been off work since. Thankfully, I just found out today my short term disability has been approved(relief!). At my first follow up on Jan 20th, I was told it’s coming along as it should. Told to do only this simple stretch, flexing toes/foot back and forth only, till I go again on Feb 17th. In your opinion, what pain is reasonable when doing so? I feel a bit of pain where the incision area is. It’s not major, but feels uncomfortable. My toes and top of foot are still a bit numb. The toe end of foot…upper and bottom of foot are tender. I’m not pushing the stretch as it’s been just over 3 weeks, but want it to get as better as it can soon. I should add, I’m already a pretty weea person with low muscle…so also want to make sure I don’t overdo something because I don’t have the right amount of muscle/strength to overcome extra issues. Anyways, if you have time for this 54 year old gal in Vancouver BC Canada’s question…super cool. But understand if you don’t. Thanks for the vid anyways.
We appreciate you watching and contributing, Cindy! This is still extremely early following surgery; I would say trust your doc, and right now, absolutely nothing to worry about.

@@DrTomBiernacki, thank you so much for replying to my post. 😊 The pain keeps changing. My hubby says….cuz it’s healing…hopefully true. I’m happy to give a rating, but don’t see the way to do that, besides the thumbs up I already clicked. If there is a way that somehow I’m not seeing, please let me know. Cheers.
I have two fractures in my big toe on left foot . Please tell me if I should take a wheel chair and avoid weight or can I walk in a moon boot for 6 weeks till fracture heals . Please help ,no doctor explains the way you did above .
Hi Dr, thank you so much for the valuable information. I'm doing my best not to have surgery with a displaced 5th metatarsal (dancers) fracture. 3 podiatrist opinion (2- surgery, 1- 50% chance of healing w no surgery). After trying to manage my recovery with only a boot, your video has given me more hope in preventing reinjury and fortifying the bracing of my foot.🙏🏾🙏🏾 Fortunately with your suggestions there is still faith in Dr's. Thank you. God bless.
Well, I'm thoroughly depressed now! 😔 I am disabled with chronic illnesses and unbearable chronic pain. Our NHS in the uk is wonderful from the point of view of free treatment for everyone, but it is severely lacking for many people, including me. I've already had 12 years of unbearable butt-foot pain, hip pain, Baker's cyst pain and arthritis pain. Last year I had a heavy fall on my knees and elbow. Had an x-ray, and once they saw that nothing was broken, thst was it. I'm still suffering. 1½ weeks ago, my left foot gave way, and I had excruciating pain in the front ⅓ of my foot. Had no way of getting to A&E (16 miles away), so phoned the Dr. Got to see a nurse who said that I had "probably" broken my Phalanges and torn my ligaments, but they don't do x-rays for that. She told me to exercise my toes by picking up a tissue with them.....right after breaking my bones! I couldn't do it, due to the swelling and pain! She said the heel pain that I've had for 12 years is likely Planter Faschia (nobody has ever told me that, and consequently have never had any treatment or advice). I have so little faith in our NHS, that I got a sports masseuse to come over and take a look. She said she thought I'd broken my metatarsal bones, as well as torn ligaments, and to NOT to do the toe exercises! I live in a rural area, have no family and nobody to take me me to any specialist. I know you have to pay for your treatment in the US, but my god, you get soooo much better treatment than our NHS supplies! Disabled people, like myself, who live on small incomes can't afford private treatment....but then, I suppose it's the same over there. eg. My elderly neighbour fell down ths stairs several years ago. She kept going to the dr, complaining of neck pain. They did absolutely nothing for two years, until finally they gave her an x-ray, and said that she had broken her neck! My late mum had a similar experience, where she was hours from being paralysed, dus to 2 years of incompetent and unbelieving drs!
I’m so sorry you are suffering like this it’s disgusting that the NHS didn’t help you more how are you feeling now? I had a foot injury I rolled on my ankle and have been trying to heal it myself I didn’t want to go A&E and be stuck there probably hours than told oh it’s a sprain go home so I’ve been resting it for a month but am still in pain can walk a little now though.,but haven’t ventured outside to shop etc yet. Hope things improve for you
I’m so sorry! It’s not quite that bad in the US but government insurance in most drs offices especially the disabled & elderly or very poor are very lacking but medical care isn’t reimbursed or paid as much as private insurance. There’s not supposed to be a difference in care or how they treat you! But, when not comes to money, we’ll You know
@@MUHAMMADNABEEL-r6b5m I'm not sure who you are talking to, but I've been chronically ill for 32 years, and disabled for 25 years. There's absolutely no way I could afford to go private.
I had a broken tibia from a car accident and it’s currently my 3rd month since I got my second surgery had to get a plate with screws but my foot it seems to be the only difficult part of the recovery my foot is really swollen feels like a foam under my skin when I press down it leaves a dent , I can move and rotate my foot around but when I I try pick my foot up towards be upward it doesn’t go as back as my right foot when I curl my toes inward I can’t curl them all the way as my other foot I feel tightness on my foot my toes seem to spred out when I try to curl my toes down a bit with a twitchy sensation. I want to know what are possible ways to reduce the swelling of it feeling like styrofoam and get my momentum back on my foot . I’m supposed to get my boot in 2 weeks .
At 12:29 you talk about post op shoes and I bought one because I wanted a much shorter boot that doesn't cramp my leg or go up to my knee. If there are any very short boots that do what an aircast does for those of us who just broke a bone in our foot, but not ankle or higher that would be amazing. Is there anything out there like that?

a really good way to fix a sprain or any bruising for that matter is dampen a cloth put it in the freezer till its really cold pour witch hazel over it wrap the cloth around the area then bandage it so the cloth doesnt move.. then wrap it in ceran wrap leave it on for 24 hours. This has worked for me every time. Also have saved fingernails when they have been squashed etc. You can get witch hazel from your supermarket in the makeup/skin care section for a couple of dollars. You can also use it to reduce spider veins.

Thank you for the information. I broke the fibula in my left ankle on Oct. 8, 2023. Surgery to repair the break with plate and screws on Oct. 19. PT at home for 2 weeks, now at an outpatient clinic. The break, and surgical site seems to be healing. The only concern I have is with the blood pooling in my foot and sometimes turning dark. Do I need to report this to the surgeon?
I broke my Talus bone in the left ankle October 5th. External fixator until October 19. had screws and plate to my ankle. Everything seems (surgical incisions) to be healing fine. Physical therapy twice a week and at home exercises everyday. Doctor told me it can take up to a year for the red ness, darkness to go away as the blood vessels are healing. But it sometimes scares me because my foot turns like dark purple and goes away as soon as I elevate it. My life changed after my accident because I have a Labor job and love to do Labor, I hope everything heals for you and I. If you want anybody To talk to I’m here, because I know sometimes I want somebody to talk to when I’m alone at home all day.
@@hoodbrodi8581Broke and dislocated ankle. Tibia pushed out through skin. Fibula broken of course. Plate, 10 screws, 3 surgeries and 5 months later, full weight bearing and walking fairly well. Due to bone being thrust outside the skin, there was a risk of infection, so I had an external fixator for a few weeks. Pin through talus and pins into tibia. Dealing with that was the worst.
I want to know if I should wear an ankle brace as I had a broken 5 th Tera break about 3months ago. My foot is somewhat better and I am somewhat better. I'm out of the boot but walking seems to putting pressure on my knee. My knee is starting to hurt when walking. Should I get a knee brace? Or will this mess up my knee?
Thanks great video, First metacarpse fracture here, got a surgery and 4 weeks and im starting to walk again a bit. I have some good shoes and i tried walking outside a bit, It doesnt hurt that much but foot immediately get swollen too much after 1 hour or 2. Am i rushing too much?
I'm recovering from acute fractures of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Metatarsals. I've now been in the boot for 6 weeks. Seeing my dr. this week for evaluation. Hope to get the okay to start transitioning to a regular walking shoe. I have heard many doctors recommend the New Balance 928v3. It has rollbar technology, a very thick non-bendable sole and a forefoot rocker. It's kind of similar to the Brooks Beast/Ariel but has more support, more depth and wider toe box. What's your opinion? Would the 928v3 be a good transition shoe for weaning out of the boot? Thanks, Doc!
The iWalk is just ok.... it's got it's setbacks. It really fatigues you unless you are in very good cardio shape, and also you need to be fairly strong. Can't walk too much distance. Can't sit down with it on so you are constantly taking it off & on if using at home. BUT it was great for when I needed to be up doing things, like cooking, and you have both hands free! My best purchase was a wheelchair!
I had an uncle fracture. Both tibia and fibula for almost two years now. Three surgeries so far. Am able to walk,but I have pains and swelling. Please help.
Broke my big toe 4 weeks ago, it’s still bruised and tender. But seems to be coming together on my X-ray. Not full together but almost. Been in this boot for 4 weeks, ready to get it off
Hi dr I got a jones fracture on right foot.. I went to podiatrist and she suggested me to wear a ortho cam boot.. I will have to visit her after 6 weeks .. so, do I need to go for surgery? Of it will heal by 6 weeks ? Please advice
I just broke my 5th metatarsal at proximal area. Doctor put me in a boot but didn't say to not put weight on it. Didn't tell me anything about what to use to get around. I live alone, 75 years old, overweight. Any advice?
Hello, I am so sorry to hear that and hope, you can recover soon. I am finishing my 6th week with the same injury and can recommend: *Rent a wheelchair, it makes a huge difference in comfort, safety and independence *I was prohibited from walking for 5 weeks, 6th week walking with crutches * put your foot high on a chair to help reduce the swelling * eat a lot of protein and add calcium and vitamin D to help absorb it * ask for injections for blood dilution to prevent blood clotting and take them daily until you walk again * regulate your food - don't starve, body needs energy but sugar can stop calcium intake and any extra weight will slow down the rehab and put more stress on the foot when you start walking * make yourself happy with small things (nice book, learning sth new, talking with friends) every day to keep mentally ok

Hey doctor. I broke my ankle in basketball. I got a knee scooter and it works well. I have not walked on my foot but I'm worried that I need surgery if the bone is not straight
I have a calcaneus fracture. I fell from 10 ft high at work. I'm on my ninth week still non-weight-bearing. He told me we're going to try to put weight on it about the 11th week. Very frustrating. Other than that they really haven't done much for me. He told me once I start walking that's when he'll know if it needs surgery to fuse the foot so it'll no longer go side to side anymore. Does all this sound correct? I feel lost.
@@m.taylorI did have a CT done at the hospital. I was in the hospital for 3 days after the fall in the hospital. They told me I needed surgery when I came out. The doctor workers comp sent me to said I did not need surgery that he'll determine that after I start walking.
@@davidramirez-xv2sn It is probably because workers comp doesn't wish to pay for your time off for the surgery and rehab. If I were you, I would not let them pressure you to start walking because weight bearing might make it worse. I personally would consult a lawyer.

The video was helpful, but the sad thing is people like me who live in 3rd world countries have no access to those wonderful walking aids. All we got here are cheap clutches. I've broken my 5th metatarsal bone 5 weeks ago and I'm already so depressed and hopeless :(
Just keep resting your feet and don’t put pressure or stress and use wheel chair for movement. More care early cure. Keep your diet tight. Avoid sex and self pleasure for a while. When you get cured. You can be well
I am so very upset and confused. I went to ER a week ago, and was at first told I had a broken "foot", then told it was an old avulsion fracture, then put me in a boot and told it was a moderate sprain. The doctor never examined me or spoke to me. I have no insurance and don't know what to do. I am a retired classical ballet dancer/instructor. Please help!

Fractured calcaneus 2 years and two months ago. Calcaneus fractured completely, but still have numbness, tingling andpsin in the area of the plate and screws(right side) Any idea why numbness and pain is not subsiding?
Indeed I'm walking. 8 weeks no weight bearing. Surgery was May of 2022. Stiffness, numb and pain. Particularly around/near the plate and screws. The numbness extends from the ankle joint (right side, right foot) along the right side of the foot, down to the balls of my foot and into the toes. The more use, walking during yard work, home improvement the pain is most noticeable, with the worst pain in the evening and following day. I'm told it's neuropathy by a physical therapist friend of mine. Surgeon says the numbness is due to the nerve block which was injected just below the knee. I disagree because I have no numbness nor pain in the leg/calf area.
@@DrTomBiernacki After 6-8 weeks is there therapy involved once boot comes off or just home exercises? I’ve seen a ton of mobility and strength exercises but no videos of therapy prescribed by a doctor like rehab.
My laptop fell on my foot. It was swollen and painful for a couple of days, but I could still walk. It would swell occasionally. I didn’t know it was broken. Months later I missed a step while walking. X-ray show 2 breaks. An old one a new one.😢
Hi doc. I'm in FL so a little far but would really love and appreciate your help over a video call with my foot recovery issues 7 weeks on from a 5th metatarsal comminuted fracture. Please get back to me I'd value your opinions and input greatly so I can return to sports and walking asap. It's been so draining . Adelle
Two wheller fall on my foot ,after the finger main bone, i cant do x rays ,as i am pregnant earlier there was pain now after two weeks no pain but it swells as i get up .pls help me
Generally, this can lead to 4-6weeks supported in a cast or boot, followed by bracing, good shoes, good insoles, and physical therapy. Keep following up with your doctor, and we wish you the BEST of luck!
Angel, thank you for watching. Bones are best diagnosed with x-rays imaging. MRI (magnetic resonance) pictures are used to diagnose soft tissues like hearth, brain. So, use of x-ray imaging is correct choice for bon fracture.

I did a similar thing falling from a height but it was actually a fracture pretty bad too I had to have a splint for 2 weeks as it healed and a cast for 4 weeks it still hurts a bit now but I can walk on it without any problems
Sorry, I don't know what happened to the rest of this comment. Basically, I was let down by the legal system, which after experiencing decades of abuse from various neighbour not only left me with several unjust convictions... but I feel betrayed and let down with this, the support I got fell well short of this, and what I had hoped for! As anyone would rightly do so if they had experienced similar. I was also being bullied by local MP and got into a legal conflict with resulted in me going on hunger strike for 11 days... this set my ankle back. Basically a litany of experiences of feeling let down.
Thanks for watching and we hope you feel better soon! We would like to help you by providing some basic remedies and treatments, However, you must check with a doctor if your condition is not improving!

A psyatrist (physical medicine & rehab) can be a great doctor for recovery and whole body non-surgical evaluation. A podiatrist is generally foot specialized able to do foot procedures, whereas a physical medicine doctor is specialized more in whole body. As long as you get someone that can spend some time with you that has great reviews, you should be in good shape!
@@DrTomBiernacki it’s frustrating bc doctors only know their specialty. Idw someone yo jump to surgery but also don’t want someone who isn’t a surgeon to have conservative methods that aren’t effective u kno
The tough part is in today's system it's systemized by large organizations to funnel people into procedures & outpatient surgical centers as these usually drive profit. Generally finding someone that can spend some time with you is the key. I am very frustrated with the system as well, it's in a tough spot. That's why I'm hoping to do some more of this type of education and be able to spend more time with people.

I fractured my lisfranc on August 1st 2023 and My foot was in a cast for about 6 weeks and I was home for about 4 months. When I tried ro go back out to work in December, I developed plantar fasciitis. I was granted 6 more weeks of leave and I started therapy...therapy helps but I find that my foot is taking too long to heal. It is now April 2024 and I still have to elevate my leg, ice and I'm still experiencing cramps in my calf, problems balancing and walking. What do you suggest?
My dog knocked me off a step and broke my foot. Two days later she stood on it. Rotten animal.

Watching from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦
Broken and dislocated tibia and fibula 5 months ago. 57 years old. 3 surgeries. A plate and 10 screws holding things together. Was just released from using boot. Full weight bearing. My issue is gaining ankle flexibility, toes up or forward stride.
The iWalk was a game changer for me. Hands free walking to carry things and no wheeled device can go up or down stairs. There is a weight limit and you need good balance. It's good for keeping your hip active.
Crutches are the worst.
I have a Achilles tendon torn but I was wondering how long does that usually take to heal? also should I get the operation or can therapy be good enough to help.
I had a broken left ankle over 12 years ago in early March 2012 in a bad car accident. I had surgery on that ankle the following afternoon. It took me almost 5 months in recovery time in walking normal. I had both of my parents during my recovery time. I even did sprained my right ankle in a bad fall just outside of my apartment on October 19th,2017. I tore a ligament in my right ankle in that fall. I had my cell phone with me during that fall. I called 911 first and then my mother. I thought that I broken that ankle when I tried to get up those 2 times. My ankle and foot was swollen and really bruised all over. I didn’t drive for 2 weeks for that ankle. It was a little bit harder to drive at first. I did used a walker for that ankle for distance in walking. I also used a walker for walking for my broken ankle in walking or used it when I had to go for 2 feet in hopping. Even using a wheelchair for my broken ankle. I do know how to used crutches but, I didn’t used them for my broken ankle. I did drive a car when I had the boot on my left ankle. There is no way to drive a car when the boot on my right ankle.
I broke my tibia, fibula and shattered my left ankle 6 weeks ago. I still can’t begin to try to be weight bearing for 2 more weeks. I have pretty bad nerve pain on the outside of my left foot. I have three plates and 13 screws. I enjoyed hearing about the devices you recommended along with the exercises as I have completely lost all of my flexibility….not only in my lower injured leg and ankle but in my calves, hamstrings, hips and back. Definitely going to try to put your recommendations to use. Wish you were in Georgia!!
Oh wow . From the beginning, you had me. It's been 8 months. Thank you so much
I am 8 months out on 5th metatarsal stress fracture. It’s still Broken. I’ve had a horrible journey and medical advice or lack of it & still don’t have a good doctor. I’m scared my foot will never heal so I appreciate your information!!!
Hey how are u doing now
I just meet with an accident so it's 5th metatarsal facture same has u am bit worried is there any precautions for it it's been 6 months it's not yet healed
Holy cow, just happened to me on Christmas sounds like a long road
This video is amazingly straight to the point! Great information!! I’m 10 weeks post op total ankle replacement. I can’t get a PT appointment for another month. Looking for massages and exercises to help with my swelling and stiffness
Wow, this was more quality information than I got from my doctor who saw me for less than 5 minutes.. wish I still lived in Michigan!
Thank you for supporting us!

Yes, same for me. I was in the emergency room for 30 minutes.. xray and boot and didn't say much..
This video explains alot❤
SAME! I broke my foot 6 weeks ago and this has been so much more informative then anything my dr has told me & I’ve asked him half the questions answered in this video!
The video gave me the idea what I should put on my fractured ankle when it got sprained 2 months ago. I am on the healing process. My medication is 60 days more. I just put elastic bandage but now I will buy ankle brace.
This is amazing. Very helpful information! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful and informative!

All the best to you!
I just switched to a forearm crutch to help me relearn to walk and it is great because it prevents me from leaning into the single crutch so that I can re-center my weight properly.
I also quit physiotherapy because the physio assistant knew the exercises but did not understand the connection of how alignment, stiffness and pain interferes with doing exercises to strengthen the muscles and did not know how to design progressive exercises. So I will figure it out on my own.
Very well presented and articulated!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have really enjoyed to watch this video it has covered a lot of ground that I needed I think he's an awesome doctor and I hope you both well for him as much as I do have good walk-ins thank you thank you doctor
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope that my video was informative as well.

Thank you for your detailed and informative videos! I have watched many of them. They have been so helpful as I recover from a distal fibula fracture.
i had last month, how is your recovery till now
I am using the wheel chair that you showed and the mobilegs ultra crutches. Very ergonomic, Love them! they don’t hurt your pits. I am walking on my boot with them now…3 weeks before the 6 week post op mark… I don’t know if ok, but with these crutches and the boot, I don’t feel anything, and feels good.
Thank you for these videos. They are helpful well beyond Michigan!
Can i use Philip infrared light to fisio therapy my ankle after surgery (fracture and broken ligamen) ?
I am recovering from an open compound fracture on the ankle. Plates have been fitted, the surgery went well. The swelling, the doctors are left saying, may take another two years, but I want to be back on both my feet. I making slow progress in movements of the ankle, but I am struggling. Do you have anything specific for me? What you mentioned above, I have followed most of those things
I sprained my foot and screwed up my knee when I fell a few days ago. ER gave me crutches. Horrible. I'm desperate to find a better solution. This is very helpful information. Thank you!
I sprain my foot too. They give me crutches I just lie in bed
Hello, thanks for your videos! I have learned so much from watching! I broke my ankle 7 weeks ago. I have a displaced Fibula Fracture with a Tibia Fracture to go along with it. My injury required surgery but unfortunate circumstances created a time problem and 3 weeks later, I did not have surgery. My Tibia bone has healed nicely and my Dr. seems happy with my Tibia healing progress. I am in an Air Cast boot and have just started weigh bearing at 6 weeks. I am carefully doing stretching exercises with bands and a ball. My toes are painful but getting better. I have completely lost my calf muscle. I am making progress with the boot but it is uncomfortable. My foot is still swelling considerably.
I am concerned with having a displaced fracture not healing properly due to no surgery. I'm concerned of a possibility of rebreaking my ankle.
I would welcome any advice on how to continue to improve my ankle.
Thanks!
Glad that my video was helpful to you!
Thanks for the great response! I really hope that you get better soon!
If possible, we would appreciate a quick and easy rating from you, and a good rating makes a BIG difference for us!

Best thing ive used so far for my broken ankle is the Iwalk3.0 hands free crutch if u can stand on one leg for 30 seconds you are likely able to use. I use a knee scooter as well but its more of a pain expcept in the house. But the iwalk allows you to be fairly normal go outside walk the dog
Thank you for this video… I am in Canada, but thought it helpful.
I fractured my outer ankle at Christmas, and it was displaced …had to have surgery Jan 4th. I have been off work since. Thankfully, I just found out today my short term disability has been approved(relief!). At my first follow up on Jan 20th, I was told it’s coming along as it should. Told to do only this simple stretch, flexing toes/foot back and forth only, till I go again on Feb 17th. In your opinion, what pain is reasonable when doing so? I feel a bit of pain where the incision area is. It’s not major, but feels uncomfortable.
My toes and top of foot are still a bit numb. The toe end of foot…upper and bottom of foot are tender. I’m not pushing the stretch as it’s been just over 3 weeks, but want it to get as better as it can soon. I should add, I’m already a pretty weea person with low muscle…so also want to make sure I don’t overdo something because I don’t have the right amount of muscle/strength to overcome extra issues. Anyways, if you have time for this 54 year old gal in Vancouver BC Canada’s question…super cool. But understand if you don’t. Thanks for the vid anyways.
We appreciate you watching and contributing, Cindy!
This is still extremely early following surgery; I would say trust your doc, and right now, absolutely nothing to worry about. The full sensation can take a few months to return fully after a traumatic process.

@@DrTomBiernacki, thank you so much for replying to my post. 😊 The pain keeps changing. My hubby says….cuz it’s healing…hopefully true. I’m happy to give a rating, but don’t see the way to do that, besides the thumbs up I already clicked. If there is a way that somehow I’m not seeing, please let me know. Cheers.
👍🏼Thank you so much Dr. Tom for your thorough education and presentation! Looking for info for ny dear friend.
I have two fractures in my big toe on left foot . Please tell me if I should take a wheel chair and avoid weight or can I walk in a moon boot for 6 weeks till fracture heals . Please help ,no doctor explains the way you did above .
Please can you reply to my question regarding weight on foot in case of toe fracture .
Hi Dr, thank you so much for the valuable information. I'm doing my best not to have surgery with a displaced 5th metatarsal (dancers) fracture. 3 podiatrist opinion (2- surgery, 1- 50% chance of healing w no surgery). After trying to manage my recovery with only a boot, your video has given me more hope in preventing reinjury and fortifying the bracing of my foot.🙏🏾🙏🏾 Fortunately with your suggestions there is still faith in Dr's. Thank you. God bless.
U healed completely?
Well, I'm thoroughly depressed now! 😔
I am disabled with chronic illnesses and unbearable chronic pain.
Our NHS in the uk is wonderful from the point of view of free treatment for everyone, but it is severely lacking for many people, including me.
I've already had 12 years of unbearable butt-foot pain, hip pain, Baker's cyst pain and arthritis pain. Last year I had a heavy fall on my knees and elbow. Had an x-ray, and once they saw that nothing was broken, thst was it. I'm still suffering. 1½ weeks ago, my left foot gave way, and I had excruciating pain in the front ⅓ of my foot. Had no way of getting to A&E (16 miles away), so phoned the Dr. Got to see a nurse who said that I had "probably" broken my Phalanges and torn my ligaments, but they don't do x-rays for that. She told me to exercise my toes by picking up a tissue with them.....right after breaking my bones! I couldn't do it, due to the swelling and pain! She said the heel pain that I've had for 12 years is likely Planter Faschia (nobody has ever told me that, and consequently have never had any treatment or advice).
I have so little faith in our NHS, that I got a sports masseuse to come over and take a look. She said she thought I'd broken my metatarsal bones, as well as torn ligaments, and to NOT to do the toe exercises!
I live in a rural area, have no family and nobody to take me me to any specialist.
I know you have to pay for your treatment in the US, but my god, you get soooo much better treatment than our NHS supplies! Disabled people, like myself, who live on small incomes can't afford private treatment....but then, I suppose it's the same over there.
eg. My elderly neighbour fell down ths stairs several years ago. She kept going to the dr, complaining of neck pain. They did absolutely nothing for two years, until finally they gave her an x-ray, and said that she had broken her neck! My late mum had a similar experience, where she was hours from being paralysed, dus to 2 years of incompetent and unbelieving drs!
I’m so sorry you are suffering like this it’s disgusting that the NHS didn’t help you more how are you feeling now? I had a foot injury I rolled on my ankle and have been trying to heal it myself I didn’t want to go A&E and be stuck there probably hours than told oh it’s a sprain go home so I’ve been resting it for a month but am still in pain can walk a little now though.,but haven’t ventured outside to shop etc yet. Hope things improve for you
Go private man
I’m so sorry! It’s not quite that bad in the US but government insurance in most drs offices especially the disabled & elderly or very poor are very lacking but medical care isn’t reimbursed or paid as much as private insurance. There’s not supposed to be a difference in care or how they treat you! But, when not comes to money, we’ll You know
@@MUHAMMADNABEEL-r6b5m I'm not sure who you are talking to, but I've been chronically ill for 32 years, and disabled for 25 years. There's absolutely no way I could afford to go private.
I had a broken tibia from a car accident and it’s currently my 3rd month since I got my second surgery had to get a plate with screws but my foot it seems to be the only difficult part of the recovery my foot is really swollen feels like a foam under my skin when I press down it leaves a dent , I can move and rotate my foot around but when I I try pick my foot up towards be upward it doesn’t go as back as my right foot when I curl my toes inward I can’t curl them all the way as my other foot I feel tightness on my foot my toes seem to spred out when I try to curl my toes down a bit with a twitchy sensation. I want to know what are possible ways to reduce the swelling of it feeling like styrofoam and get my momentum back on my foot . I’m supposed to get my boot in 2 weeks .
At 12:29 you talk about post op shoes and I bought one because I wanted a much shorter boot that doesn't cramp my leg or go up to my knee. If there are any very short boots that do what an aircast does for those of us who just broke a bone in our foot, but not ankle or higher that would be amazing. Is there anything out there like that?

a really good way to fix a sprain or any bruising for that matter is dampen a cloth put it in the freezer till its really cold pour witch hazel over it wrap the cloth around the area then bandage it so the cloth doesnt move.. then wrap it in ceran wrap leave it on for 24 hours. This has worked for me every time. Also have saved fingernails when they have been squashed etc. You can get witch hazel from your supermarket in the makeup/skin care section for a couple of dollars. You can also use it to reduce spider veins.

Thank you for the information. I broke the fibula in my left ankle on Oct. 8, 2023. Surgery to repair the break with plate and screws on Oct. 19. PT at home for 2 weeks, now at an outpatient clinic. The break, and surgical site seems to be healing. The only concern I have is with the blood pooling in my foot and sometimes turning dark. Do I need to report this to the surgeon?
I broke my Talus bone in the left ankle October 5th. External fixator until October 19. had screws and plate to my ankle. Everything seems (surgical incisions) to be healing fine. Physical therapy twice a week and at home exercises everyday. Doctor told me it can take up to a year for the red ness, darkness to go away as the blood vessels are healing. But it sometimes scares me because my foot turns like dark purple and goes away as soon as I elevate it. My life changed after my accident because I have a Labor job and love to do Labor, I hope everything heals for you and I. If you want anybody To talk to I’m here, because I know sometimes I want somebody to talk to when I’m alone at home all day.
@@hoodbrodi8581Broke and dislocated ankle. Tibia pushed out through skin. Fibula broken of course. Plate, 10 screws, 3 surgeries and 5 months later, full weight bearing and walking fairly well. Due to bone being thrust outside the skin, there was a risk of infection, so I had an external fixator for a few weeks. Pin through talus and pins into tibia. Dealing with that was the worst.
I want to know if I should wear an ankle brace as I had a broken 5 th Tera break about 3months ago. My foot is somewhat better and I am somewhat better. I'm out of the boot but walking seems to putting pressure on my knee. My knee is starting to hurt when walking. Should I get a knee brace? Or will this mess up my knee?
Excellent information! Thank you.
I injured my ankle 4 times this year. 1st from deadlifting, 2nd i stepped on a corn 3rd is I slipped, 4 is I stretched. I hope no more 5th😢.
Omg. 😢

Thanks great video, First metacarpse fracture here, got a surgery and 4 weeks and im starting to walk again a bit. I have some good shoes and i tried walking outside a bit, It doesnt hurt that much but foot immediately get swollen too much after 1 hour or 2.
Am i rushing too much?
I'm recovering from acute fractures of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Metatarsals. I've now been in the boot for 6 weeks. Seeing my dr. this week for evaluation. Hope to get the okay to start transitioning to a regular walking shoe. I have heard many doctors recommend the New Balance 928v3. It has rollbar technology, a very thick non-bendable sole and a forefoot rocker. It's kind of similar to the Brooks Beast/Ariel but has more support, more depth and wider toe box. What's your opinion? Would the 928v3 be a good transition shoe for weaning out of the boot? Thanks, Doc!
Hi, how are you now? How long did it took for you to walk again? I fractures mine too
I’m eight weeks post surgery hook plate , I’m currently in a walking shoe out of the boot now do you think an orthopedic insert would be good
Personally with a softer insoles I do use this with my post surgical patients. But always check with your doctor!
I broke my left ankle but luckily, i drive with my right foot.
The iWalk is just ok.... it's got it's setbacks. It really fatigues you unless you are in very good cardio shape, and also you need to be fairly strong. Can't walk too much distance. Can't sit down with it on so you are constantly taking it off & on if using at home. BUT it was great for when I needed to be up doing things, like cooking, and you have both hands free! My best purchase was a wheelchair!
I had an uncle fracture. Both tibia and fibula for almost two years now. Three surgeries so far. Am able to walk,but I have pains and swelling. Please help.
Broke my big toe 4 weeks ago, it’s still bruised and tender. But seems to be coming together on my X-ray. Not full together but almost. Been in this boot for 4 weeks, ready to get it off

Hi dr I got a jones fracture on right foot.. I went to podiatrist and she suggested me to wear a ortho cam boot.. I will have to visit her after 6 weeks .. so, do I need to go for surgery? Of it will heal by 6 weeks ? Please advice
Hi I have a fracture on the outside of my right ankle and wearing a cam boot too...
How are you doing now? I'm only one week in...
@@SaystheTruth3 I am doing good now .. my fracture had been recovered in 6 weeks.
I just broke my 5th metatarsal at proximal area. Doctor put me in a boot but didn't say to not put weight on it. Didn't tell me anything about what to use to get around. I live alone, 75 years old, overweight. Any advice?
Hello, I am so sorry to hear that and hope, you can recover soon. I am finishing my 6th week with the same injury and can recommend:
*Rent a wheelchair, it makes a huge difference in comfort, safety and independence
*I was prohibited from walking for 5 weeks, 6th week walking with crutches
* put your foot high on a chair to help reduce the swelling
* eat a lot of protein and add calcium and vitamin D to help absorb it
* ask for injections for blood dilution to prevent blood clotting and take them daily until you walk again
* regulate your food - don't starve, body needs energy but sugar can stop calcium intake and any extra weight will slow down the rehab and put more stress on the foot when you start walking
* make yourself happy with small things (nice book, learning sth new, talking with friends) every day to keep mentally ok
Put no pressure. Hire a podiatrist

Hey doctor. I broke my ankle in basketball. I got a knee scooter and it works well. I have not walked on my foot but I'm worried that I need surgery if the bone is not straight
I have a calcaneus fracture. I fell from 10 ft high at work. I'm on my ninth week still non-weight-bearing. He told me we're going to try to put weight on it about the 11th week. Very frustrating. Other than that they really haven't done much for me. He told me once I start walking that's when he'll know if it needs surgery to fuse the foot so it'll no longer go side to side anymore. Does all this sound correct? I feel lost.
Doesn't sound right. The doc should have done a CT or MRI scan to obtain more detail as to what has been injured.
@@m.taylorI did have a CT done at the hospital. I was in the hospital for 3 days after the fall in the hospital. They told me I needed surgery when I came out. The doctor workers comp sent me to said I did not need surgery that he'll determine that after I start walking.
@@davidramirez-xv2sn It is probably because workers comp doesn't wish to pay for your time off for the surgery and rehab. If I were you, I would not let them pressure you to start walking because weight bearing might make it worse. I personally would consult a lawyer.

Hello
I am Sonam from Bhutan
Currently I had bad anckle injuries while playing basketball, it has been now 5days and still my foot is swollen and can't walk well or stand well because it gives more pain. It is cast.
Therefore, I would like to seek your advice for quick recovery or healing techniques.
I would like to show my X-ray copy to seeks your expertise advice
I have fracture in my left foot cracked I rested it for 3wks no walking.
Then did it recover?
Hi! Can you pls explain what it means
Report says
Old United Fracture of head of LT3rd, 4th Metatarsal present… Pls can some one pls help me understand this…
❤❤❤ great 👍
How long before a skin graft over a leg amount on top of right foot
Very helpful
I used the iWalk for stairs after my bunionectomy. It did make my foot more swollen if I used it for prolonged time. Like 5 minutes or more.
Thank God I got my scooter from the VA. Also getting my CAM boot and walker from VA. No money out my pocket.😮
Same. I’m only one week in. How is healing?
The video was helpful, but the sad thing is people like me who live in 3rd world countries have no access to those wonderful walking aids. All we got here are cheap clutches. I've broken my 5th metatarsal bone 5 weeks ago and I'm already so depressed and hopeless :(
Same here, over 6 weeks in a cast, ah! The depression is killing me!!!!
Just keep resting your feet and don’t put pressure or stress and use wheel chair for movement. More care early cure. Keep your diet tight. Avoid sex and self pleasure for a while. When you get cured. You can be well
It's been 6 month now and my foot is as good as it was before the fracture. I can walk and run and dance without any pain or pressure 😆
Thats a good news though! Use Green Bottle of Body Olive Oil for massaging your feet once a week to keep blood flow 100%@@fatemehebadi4924

I am so very upset and confused. I went to ER a week ago, and was at first told I had a broken "foot", then told it was an old avulsion fracture, then put me in a boot and told it was a moderate sprain. The doctor never examined me or spoke to me. I have no insurance and don't know what to do. I am a retired classical ballet dancer/instructor. Please help!

I had broken ankle bone since January but I am still having pains and I did x-ray the bone has not set what can I do
Then why you didn’t do surgery?
Where can I buy the I walk?
How much for the foot ice bag?
Fractured calcaneus 2 years and two months ago. Calcaneus fractured completely, but still have numbness, tingling andpsin in the area of the plate and screws(right side) Any idea why numbness and pain is not subsiding?
Hi, are you able to walk now? How long was the process? Thank you
Indeed I'm walking. 8 weeks no weight bearing. Surgery was May of 2022. Stiffness, numb and pain. Particularly around/near the plate and screws. The numbness extends from the ankle joint (right side, right foot) along the right side of the foot, down to the balls of my foot and into the toes. The more use, walking during yard work, home improvement the pain is most noticeable, with the worst pain in the evening and following day. I'm told it's neuropathy by a physical therapist friend of mine. Surgeon says the numbness is due to the nerve block which was injected just below the knee. I disagree because I have no numbness nor pain in the leg/calf area.
My son with 25 years old, he was jumped, and his heel cracks,after using gibs,its hard to doin exerise , why?
My Dr has me transitioning from the boot after 8weeks to a walking shoe . Broken fifth metatarsal had surgery hook plate
Excellent, that is a very rewarding surgery!
@@DrTomBiernacki After 6-8 weeks is there therapy involved once boot comes off or just home exercises? I’ve seen a ton of mobility and strength exercises but no videos of therapy prescribed by a doctor like rehab.
My laptop fell on my foot. It was swollen and painful for a couple of days, but I could still walk. It would swell occasionally. I didn’t know it was broken. Months later I missed a step while walking. X-ray show 2 breaks. An old one a new one.😢
So it could take up to a year for my pinky toe to heal?
Very good informatio.information!🎉

What is the condition of your leg now?
Hi i suffer an unstable Weber B ankle fracture and choose conservative treatment. What can i expect through this journey :(
Generally, this can lead to 4-6weeks supported in a cast or boot, followed by bracing, good shoes, good insoles, and physical therapy. Keep following up with your doctor, and we wish you the BEST of luck!
s3p
How’s the ankle now? I’ve done the same.
Is a podiatrist better than an orthopedic or are they the same
Point? Podiatrist or Orthopedic????
I believe I have a fracture in my foot but they are refusing to do a MRI and just keep doing regular x-rays how can I get them to do one
Angel, thank you for watching.
Bones are best diagnosed with x-rays imaging. MRI (magnetic resonance) pictures are used to diagnose soft tissues like hearth, brain.
So, use of x-ray imaging is correct choice for bon fracture.

Difference between a podiatrist and orthopedic in dealing with an ankle fracture?
I fell from a height and landed on my right foot xrays says it not broken but it is still swollen after 4 days
Wow how is it now I twisted my ankle a month ago and still painful to walk on
X-rays don’t always show stress fractures. Happened to me! Got an MRI and everything showed up
I did a similar thing falling from a height but it was actually a fracture pretty bad too I had to have a splint for 2 weeks as it healed and a cast for 4 weeks it still hurts a bit now but I can walk on it without any problems
I had an MRI scan and the stress fracture showed there
@@spektral79me too, it takes a MRI to show a stress fracture even a bad one
I wish my doctor told me some of these things. I had no idea disability insurance was a thing otherwise I would've taken time off.
Sorry, I don't know what happened to the rest of this comment.
Basically, I was let down by the legal system, which after experiencing decades of abuse from various neighbour not only left me with several unjust convictions... but I feel betrayed and let down with this, the support I got fell well short of this, and what I had hoped for!
As anyone would rightly do so if they had experienced similar.
I was also being bullied by local MP and got into a legal conflict with resulted in me going on hunger strike for 11 days... this set my ankle back.
Basically a litany of experiences of feeling let down.
Wtf?
Why does my foot throb with pain when I hang my foot down from the bed
The Iwalk was definitely dangerous for me.
this video suggested me more stuff to buy off amazon, instead of actually showing me about my injury... this is stupid..

Do you believe a psyiatrist is better than a podiatrist
Take that as a yes?
A psyatrist (physical medicine & rehab) can be a great doctor for recovery and whole body non-surgical evaluation. A podiatrist is generally foot specialized able to do foot procedures, whereas a physical medicine doctor is specialized more in whole body. As long as you get someone that can spend some time with you that has great reviews, you should be in good shape!
@@DrTomBiernacki it’s frustrating bc doctors only know their specialty. Idw someone yo jump to surgery but also don’t want someone who isn’t a surgeon to have conservative methods that aren’t effective u kno
The tough part is in today's system it's systemized by large organizations to funnel people into procedures & outpatient surgical centers as these usually drive profit. Generally finding someone that can spend some time with you is the key. I am very frustrated with the system as well, it's in a tough spot. That's why I'm hoping to do some more of this type of education and be able to spend more time with people.
