It’ll be a week tomorrow since I fractured my foot it’s still swollen have no ankle it looks like a…

Maybe get a second opinion and another xray😕

@hazelnautumnsmomma125, that’s what I was thinking 😑

@mamamiaof2 yea it couldn't hurt.. And that's something you need to know especially since you'll be going into labor soon and having a newborn.

A sprain can take longer/hurt more than a break because once the bone is broken, then it’s broken and over with, and a broken bone starts healing right away. When something is broken, it instantly starts to heal, which is why you don’t want to wait to go to the hospital because within hours they might need to re break, or “reset” the bone.

A sprain doesn’t start to heal right away, there’s barely anything protecting it except the stupid air cast that they give you, and it can just plain suck.

That being said, I would still ask for another x Ray. If your foot was swollen when they took the X-ray, they may not have been able to see the swell.

I’d post you a pic of my broken foot I got over the summer, but I’m sure no one wants to see that. Anyway they told me it was a sprain and once the swelling went down a little they did the X-ray again and it was broke

Also, since it’s a sprain and not really protected very well, you shouldn’t walk on it because it’s not giving it a chance at all to heal the way a broken foot starts to heal/has a full cast to support it/your told to stay off it.

@fasciamom, yea I wish I could stay off it lol but I can’t unfortunately I have to tend to my little turd 💩 lol but I will definitely call the dr again and see if I can get a X-ray but like you said cause it’s still super swollen she might not be able to and I’ll just have to wait I have it wrapped that’s the best I can do right now 😑

@mamamiaof2, I broke my foot a few months after I had my baby. Everyone just has to chip in to help I guess.

I tried to do it myself and I almost dropped him a few times. It’s much safer since your pregnant to try to take it easy as much as possible

@fasciamom, yes girl I agree! I’m definitely trying 😃
