hi, wondered if anyone can help. 6 weeks after an apparent sprain and x-Ray showing "no breaks" I had a MRI as not improving, the results have come through now saying I have a fractured talus. I'v to wait 2 weeks now for appointment at fracture clinic! I'M self employed so I have been walking on it and driving. I'm so worried I'll have done more damage. Anyone with similar experience? What is likely to be done now so far on and when i'v been walking on it?
thanks
Debbie
I had exactly the same! Unfortunately I was walking on a shattered ankle for 2 weeks before they picked it up and I'm not 4 years down the line waiting on my 4th lot of surgery! All i can say is listen to your body, keep on top of the pain killers and heat helps lots in the recovery process! I also put a neglegence claim in as I was only 14 and it has botched up my plans! Hope it heals well but if not FIGHT YOUR CORNER!
Oh you poor thing. Iv been lucky really as i havent needed a op. Im now 15 wks on and just dealing with swelling and pain thats on and off. Iv seen the x-ray and it would of been difficult to spot, but you would think that they look properly wouldnt you.. lost faith a bit. Good luck with your recovery Hollie x
You'd think that wouldn't you Debbie! I was 14 and could clearly see a break in the bone when the doctors couldn't! But thankyou for your well wishes! X
