Physio Advice For Post Surgery First Metatarsal Break and Dislocation...

[sarahkelly]

If you're not in any pain, why are you limping? Because you were told to partially weight-bear initially and kept it going?

I'm getting better by concentrating on walking as i used to but i rwally have to focus becasue it's been that long since i walked properly. The only time i do get any pain is when i'm going down steps and i step down with my good foot, and my bad foot is left behind on a higher level... if i take it slow it's ok, but as soon as i forget or go a little faster, i get reminded by sharp pain.

Perhaps going-up on your tippy-toes, good leg first, then bad and hold that position (with surface nearby to hold-on) to gently strengthen the foot between now and your physio appointment may help with the stairs issue and do try and walk down the stairs normally rather than good leg first if possible.
That's really good you've identified the stairs as a problem, you should try and make a note of other activities that are affected by it before your physio appointment so that they'll be able to help you to get back to running again.
