My foot was black - really black and swelled and didn't look like a foot. Lots of deep tissue damage. Kept it wrapped, etc. Kept in touch with Urgent Care and I was doing everything they said. No weight bearing on it. Used the old lift and go walker to keep weight off of it as much as possible. Cannot use crutches. It took a good six weeks before I threw the walker and used a cane and an arm. Then many more weeks of that. However, after that episode I never was the same again. Never the same probably partly because of CMT That's not why I fell though.

This was one of those sprains that you cannot get up from to even hobble around. It was awful. I hope I never have that again.
