Broken Foot

[Anthony D]

I broke, in some form, nearly all of my metatarsals (except third) and cuneiforms from a lazy bail ( can be seen @ :40 here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkSppZUNfjA ).

I just got casted today and will find out in two weeks if I can move to a boot. I’ve read a lot of things about rebreaks and overall incompetent rehab with the foot and I want to make sure I do things right.

Any personal stories for me? Words of wisdom?

I broke my foot last year when a 45 fell on it. I broke the first and second metatarsal as well as the navicular, just a fracture not really fully broken. I never had to wear a boot or go to therapy, I said fuck that. I was in a cast for only one month and took it off despite the doctors being reluctant because I was getting really depressed. I started walking very slowly with a stick the following day and went right back to the gym. After 2-3 weeks I was back squatting. I went for walks to help heal the foot. I took lots of vitamin D and magnesium. Well that's my story. Good luck!
