Well, I have shattered my foot – Lisfranc joint and all.

Well, I have shattered my foot – Lisfranc joint and all.

I have shattered my foot. I am told that this is the worst of all foot injuries.
I have smashed the Lisfranc joint in my right foot.

As if this is not bad enough, I am told that every other bone in my foot has at least fragments broken off of them.
I went to the PrimaCare unit directly after it happened, they said they could not see anything wrong with my foot. That I only had a ankle sprain.

Two weeks later, I go to the Podiatrist, she takes x-rays and says I should just wrap it. She was a total loon, so I took my films to Sports Doctor, they say Lisfranc so quick, that it makes me nervous.

So I go for a second opinion and the other Sports Doctor says, Lisfranc and other breaks too.

Now I have had a CT scan, they are all amazed that I can walk.

I really do not have much pain. (oddly enough) and I am walking normally.

I am not sure if I should have the screws and pins put in my foot or not.

It appears that what I am supposed to be worried about is arthritis later down the road (I think).

I have had other fractures, over 10 years ago, and I have no arthritis from them.

Now I have to decide if I should have screws and pins put in or not.

I wonder how it will heal if I just leave it alone.

Has anyone else had this experience, and if so, how have you healed?

Thanks,
