Hi Ben,

Thank you for responding to my questions. Very much appreciated!

So, I just got back home from the doctor and had my follow up x-ray. The results were that the bone almost completely re-aligned itself. There was a very small corner that was "off".

Now, the slightly bad news is that according to the doctor, only a small amount of soft callous has grown over. I asked him how far long percentage-wise the bone was and he said his best guess was 30-40% healed so far. I was a little disappointed to hear that number, but I'm pleased that at least the bone has set itself correctly.

The doctor also confirmed what you had said in your post, that the spasms are most probably from the fact that the foot has been stuffed into a tight boot for 4 weeks. He saw no stress fractures in the toes or joint areas in the follow up x-ray.

The doctor wants me back in 5 weeks for another follow-up x-ray. During that time I'm to stay in the boot for another 3 weeks. For weeks 4 and 5, I'm to take the boot off and walk around the house wearing a stiff shoe. If I go out for any reason I'm to put the boot on.

After the 5 weeks, if the results keep up or get better and that I'm around 75-80% healed he will refer me to a physiotherapist and we'll see where we go from there.

All in all not happy but not upset about the results...wish me luck!

Take care,

Joe
