Has anyone here sprained their foot really bad? How long did it take to heal?
I was walking down some stairs and missed the last step and tumbled to the floor, twisting my foot in the process. The pain was so bad later that night I went to ER as I thought I broke my foot. X-Rays showed no broken bones and I was told to just rest, ice it and keep it elevated (doctor said compress wouldn't help?)
Fast forward 4 and a half weeks -- I'm still in a lot of pain. It throbs all the time, even when I'm lying down. I am still able to walk on it but if I "overdo" it, I pay for it later on in the day. I am at home with a 3-year-old during the day and work in the evenings. Rest is next to impossible, but I have limited my activity as much as I can get away with. What's concerning is that although I'm not limping anymore (was limping for 3 weeks), it hurts more than it did last week.
I've booked a physio appointment for this Thursday but just wondering if anyone here has ever had a moderate-severe foot sprain (not ankle) and how long it took to heal?
I'm also 30 weeks pregnant and 25 lbs heavier than my normal weight which I'm sure isn't helping either....
