Allison,
My husband hurt his foot putting in a rug. (forgot he had his boots off and kicked the baseboard) The Dr. took x-rays and said there was no fracture. But he also said that a fracture might not show up on the films. They told him to wait a few days and come back for other test that would show better what had happened. He did end up having a small fracture. Iam not a Dr. but if it isn't felling better have it checked again. Sorry your hurting.

i've seen many a doctor in the ER miss a hairline fracture. see an ortho guy and have another x-ray ... better to be sure. and good luck. i am praying it is not rsd.

Hi Ali,

You sure need some more tests Many fractures are missed on plain film that are picked up on bone scan.
The important thing here is to confirm a diagnosis for you because if it is RSD they should waste no more time but get stuck straight into treatment for you.
You have such a good chance of getting better because of your age and early diagnosis----please insist on more opinions.
Take care
Tayla

Thanks everyone
Just one thing I forgot to mention - a few days after the injury my hand started to curl up into a fist - its now locked in that position and I can feel spasms in it
This is exactly what happened with my foot and ankle but where that took a few weeks to set in, my arm took a matter of days
Back at hospital to see physio and OT on Thursday so will ask if they can have itre-examined
Thanks again

good luck with the extremity dystonia stuff, the worst part imo was the pt that would stretch the hell out of it and ignore you when you say please stop but it did the most good for me and after not to many visits the changes became notable.
a funny story about these aswome people we put our lives in...i fell and went to the orth docs offce that day (i was a frequent flyer) and saw the doc who was on (one i have never met before). he felt my leg a little saw me for all of 4 minutes and said i was fine. 3 days later when i couldnt walk and it hurt i finally got into see my normal doc. first thing he does is order an exray and i will never forget the look on his face when he came in and looked at them. i had broken my leg in 2 places. he kept apologizing and everything my only question...the guy who got his license from a cracker jack box wont be in the oporating room will he?
