Hi all,
2 weeks ago I suffered a very minor fall, I fell from one step but had immediate bruising and extreme pain. Went to A&E who x-rayed my foot and they advised there was no fractures and to follow up with the fracture clinic in 2 days. I went to the fracture clinic 2 days later who explained I have actually fractured my 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th metatarsals! I am currently in a moon boot and crutches, not allowed to weightbear or drive, been signed off work for 6 weeks and I am also due a MRI scan on my knee next week as I did injure my knee as well.
I suppose my question is - how the heck do you manage with a broken foot and having a toddler?! It's been an absolute nightmare, my husband is trying to do 90% of the work between his working hours but there is only so much he can do as he is disabled. I can't do any of the housework, cooking or shopping as I'm struggling to carry things around. I am really struggling to look after my little boy and I am at an absolute loss over what to do!
I cannot get my head around how I've managed to do so much damage by falling from one step... I'm only 29! 😂
