He said with surgery I have a far less chance of any problems. The Dr said without surgery I am definately going to develop arthritis and complications even if I can walk on it. I came home in tears and started reading info online including your posts. Then 3 weeks later my HMO cleared to see another Dr an Ortho Surg and he did a weight baring xray and said I need surgery right away and screws and pins had to be put in to fix it. He said they were blurry but I had a Lisfranc dislocation and need to stay in the boot. He examined but I forgot to bring the xrays and he said probably didn't need surgery but to email the xrays which I did. He referred me to a Foot Ankle Surg (private DR paid cash) and he removed the hard split and Ace bandage (from the ER) and put me in a boot. I went to the ER they took an xray and said nothing was broken. I had pain,bruising and swelling right away in my left foot, and I couldn't even touch it to the ground. Hi All, I feel over onto the sidewlak while lifiting my 5 year old who was having a tandrum.I lost balance and we both went over. grrr! sorry, but had to vent my frustration to those who know! 8-| Now my husband and I are finally going to get to go on a second honeymoon (since we figured I wouldn't be crippled this time around) and now my foot is starting up again. Not very glamourous! Therefore my dream honeymoon was spent in a wheelchair.

In addition, I had my first surgery just two weeks before I got married and was on crutches/boot during my wedding. I have an 11 month old son I take care of at home and I just don't know how I'll cope if I have another surgery and end up in a cast again. I've just been trudging through the pain though, cause I'm afraid of what I'll hear the doctor say. It also seem that my bones have been shifting. Unfortunately, though, I've been experiencing a marked increase in pain here lately and just tonight I noticed bruising in the 1st metatarsal joint (big toe joint). I've always had pain some days worse than others. It took a whole year and two surgeries (not to mention orthotics, boots, and casts) to get back to walking freely. Hi there, Well I am sad to hear your story-it's been almost 5 years now for me since my first surgery.
