I cannot stand this pain, it feels like someone is literally breaking my foot over and over, the pain is incredible, it dies down for a bit, never goes away then here it comes, omg.
Fractured the calcaneus (heel) and saw the Ortho again yesterday who said the numbness I have over 1/2 my foot and big toe is not normal, the intense pain is not normal, how you can have intense numbness then intense pain at the same time is crazy but I have it going on. It's also creeping up my leg. Before this happened I was having pain/pin and needles in my left leg/foot and big toe but nothing like this. Ortho did ask me if I was having problems with this foot before this happened, I am so afraid and so fed up and so in pain!!!!!! this is never ending. what is going on? he doesn't know, the fracture is not the only thing that he is sure of so what now? I will try to get a same day appt on Monday to see my Dr and go from there, I feel crippled and actually am. Please can anyone help me? xx |

Could it be PN, or RSD/CRPS now that is has been aggravated by the break?

I can't remember (yes, big surprise, not), did you sustain any neck/nerve damage with your TBI? Those of us who have can experience pain is odd ways: sometimes not feeling it; other times, having an exaggerated response.
If your othro doesn't know you're a TBI patient, you might consider telling him/her. Last edited by Hockey; 08-31-2014 at 07:58 AM. Reason: typo |

Thank you everyone,
Hockey, yes I do have neck problems, a herniated disc and pinched nerve running in to my left arm/fingers. I swear to God when I had a steroid injection in to my C7 that very night my left ankle went numb, Dr said it has nothing to do with the injection, then the top of my left foot and big toe started going numb/tingling and have been ever since, then I broke my heel. Of course I "forgot" to tell the Ortho about my accident!! will do next time, have to write it on my leg so I'll see it. Last night I was feeling sorry for myself, I just want to climb mountains and hike again but I will never ever give up!!! I cry with frustration then get going again. I am not one to take too many pain pills but have to so feel doped and my words are slurring, hopefully things will get better. Thank you for the links and am going to look at them right now. Hope everyone is ok...thank God for this site |
