Broke 3 metatarsals in July at 8 months pregnant. Foot was X-rayed and put in plaster. They also wanted to do a CT scan to check the ligaments were ok in the plaster, but due to the radiation I declined this and advised I’d come back for the CT scan after I’d had the baby. Appt was scheduled for mid Sept.
After baby arrived, I brought my appt forward a couple of weeks. They xrayed my foot again and bones looked fine….but now they weren’t interested in doing a CT scan to check the ligaments. Plaster was removed and I was told I didn’t need physio and just not to do any long walks for 6 weeks.
I’m now 2 months on and still occasionally limping if I walk a lot. My foot often feels sore and constantly feels tight/like I need to stretch it. I think I would struggle to go running on it. It’s also noticeably weaker, for example on my non broken foot I can stand on one foot and rise up onto my tip toes, but I can’t do this on the foot that was broken.
Is this normal and am I just being impatient in my recovery? I’m now worried no one checked the ligaments. The dr who signed me off didn’t advise my foot would feel sore, or I may limp for a while, so just wanted to see what the consensus was before I speak to my Gp. Thanks.
