Well, here we are almost four weeks after surgery, and it was time today to visit the surgeon. He says the x-rays look really good (my heart skips with optimism) and I should wear the boot for two more weeks (deep, bitter disappointment). After two more weeks in the boot with no pain, time for the running shoes (slight glimmer of ok-ness) and walking on a treadmill according to a p.t. program (I'm leaning toward doing this stuff on my own). Oh, and he says I can do p.t. if I want. So I scheduled a visit, maybe it costs me $40 or so, but it's worth it if I can get some safe exercises and that sort of thing to do on my own. I'm not made of money, after all. I am also allowed to ride a stationary bike (in real live running shoes!) as of today, so maybe we're off to the gym this afternoon after all.
Meanwhile, I issue a stern warning: don't break your metatarsals, but if you really insist on doing so, make sure you break them violently, so they have a better chance of healing. These stress fractures are totally bogus!
I believe my chiropractor worsened my stress fracture. I have a tibial stress fracture...causing pain I thought was my knee. The chiropractor said my leg was out of alignment, pulled my leg and whacked the sides of my knee to put things back. I told him this was hurting...but he didn't stop. The pain got worse, and I had an MRI from the sports doctor and found a severe stress fracture. No more chiropractor for me.
