I twisted my ankle skateboarding, heard a pop then got dizzy and threw up everywhere. Went to Dr. and this is what they found after MRI and X-rays:
- marrow edema within the mid foot involving cuneiform bones, cuboid bone and first through fourth metatarsal bases consistent with bone contusions.
- sprain with partial tearing of the lisfranc ligament. Alignment is maintained at TMT joints.
- soft tissue edema about the mid foot consistent with patients history.
- mild bursitis involving the first intermetatarsal space.
Went to 2 specialist, both said surgery is not needed. Will be in a boot and on crutches for 6 weeks non weight baring, then able to walk in the boot(not sure how long I will have to walk in the boot or if I will need PT).
I am wondering how long it may take to recover from this? How long until I am able to skate again? I know it is hard to say but an estimate would be greatly appreciated. It happened 2 - 1/2 weeks ago and the swelling and bruising has gone down significantly. Also, the pain has started to decrease significantly.
I am in a boot and on crutches non weight bearing for 6 weeks. This injury has my very anxious and it would be nice to get a recovery time estimate. (I’m 21 yo, not sure if this effects anything).
