I'm 5 months out from breaking my ankle, and dealing with some stubborn peroneal tenosynovitis. I have rested, relaxed, iced, booted, and hone through 5 weeks of therapy with next to no progress. I haven't walked in 5 months, and even the therapy excercises cause my foot to re-swell. At what point would surgery be a consideration?

Thank you so much for this helpful advice! I am recovering from my second bunionectomy; and I’m now transitioning to walking in the boot. I didn’t use orthotic inserts in the boot the first time and that was a huge contributor to the pain! Added the insert and wow! Game changer! Also the foot levelers, didn’t know these existed - ordering some now because yes the pain in my hips and lower back from being uneven for so long was excruciating! Thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you. I have completed 5 weeks in the boot, going into the 6th week. There is still a swelling pocket near the ankle that won't go down. Do you recommend starting PT at all, or just waiting out the 6-8 week time frame first? My ankle is weight baring.

Thank you❤

I'm scheduled. for surgery for hammertoe and bunion in October. I think I will be in a cast of some sort until placed in a cam boot. Do you think the Cryo/cold water therapy cuffs or pads are appropriate for my situation? or are they designed to be placed on a foot or body part that is not in a cast? (I'm looking at Don Joy and at Polar Ice systems on Amazon right now). I will also use an ice pack under my knee as you suggested. My son thinks that ice packs will stay cold in a cooler for a long time. The cooler could be placed near me. Do you have any experience with ice packs staying cold in a cooler?

Mashallah ❤

Thank you so much! I go for my MRI next week and follow up the following week with the doctor.

Great vid. Thank you so much!

On a waiting list for Ankle Fusion, thank you for all your tips. I have a ice machine meant for knee but we have used it around ankle. That will certainly help I am most scared of how I am going to do non weight bearing 6 weeks, when my other ankle also needs fusion. I have a knee scooter. Life saver.

What kind of ice packs or bags work best for foot (bunion and hammertoe) and how do you keep the ice pack or bag on the foot? ace bandage perhaps?

Can you show how you crutched around?

Thank you very helpful . Currently in air cast boot for cuboid fracture

Thank you for this video! It was very helpful to me as I prepared for toe amputations. I would like to add that when showering, it has worked well for me to tie a kitchen-sized garbage bag on my legs and then wrap masking tape tightly around the bag just under where it is tied. Then you don't have to stick your leg outside of the shower because it is well sealed. Maybe this will be helpful to someone. Thanks again!

I just had bunion surgery and my recovery is painful. I can feel when my pain med is wearing off. Also, it hurts worst at night.

I have been suffering from Veinous Retinal Occlusion for about a year and now have a covid toe issue happening. The medical/pharmaceutical industry are claiming that they are long term covid issues but I believe that the truth is that they are both side effects of the covid vaccines.

Thank you for all your tips, very helpful.

Wow. I had plantar Faciitis surgery almost a week ago. You have explained after care much better then I received before being released. I’m still having pain and was told I can walk in my boot as tolerated. I’m going to try the ice behind the knee now. Thanks so much!

So how long does it take to get rid of it? I have it in both toes, 2nd toe on the right foot, 5th toe (outer foot) on the right foot) for 2.5 months and 8 weeks, respectively. Nothing works at all and it's not getting better. Very annoying. A large nondisplaced fracture would've healed faster than this.

Omg thank you so so much for all of your help my name is Marybeth mckelvey July 25 is my surgury of my mind foot reconstruction I've been so worried about losing my foot cause I had no way of knowing what to do before or after thank you God bless

Thanks for this informative video. Preparing for surgery n a couple months.

I am in a boot after Cuboid fracture. Is it safe to swim for exercise?

I seriously didn't realize how difficult the recovery would be. DEFINITELY GET HELP!!!

You explained so much more than my orthopedic doctor. I have been dealing with this in a cam boot for 3 months and still not better.

I walk 10 miles a day . And lately my big right toe feels like bruised or annoyed.? Not tender but maybe under nail feels like something hurts make sense.? Tried ur technique much better thank u so much . Five years of walking 10 miles a day kept off 100 lbs

I just had surgery after breaking my ankle. I could not use crutches, kept falling. Got a knee scooter and it’s a game changer.

Any advice regarding cuboid avulsion fractures? I’ve been given a boot for 4-6 weeks and otherwise just told to wait…

Straight, to the point, and informative and very useful. Thank you. You deserve more attention.

Wish my Dr. would suggested an even up. It took me a little bit to figure out why are my hips hurting. So I started wearing a platform shoe that made me even. Dah..Such a little thing made a huge difference.

Well its me again been 3 months bunion and hammer toe brilliant glad l went through with the surgery and hey yes I'm going to have the other bunion removed 👍 I'm on my own but l know what to expect 2nd time round. Many tnx for your videos ❤❤❤

So i have rx inserts now, why do I feel pressure on my perennials when I put them in some shoes and not the others?

Thank you for sharing. I tried the runner lacing system on my kicks and they are phenomenal! Saved me from throwing out a shoe

Some show manufacturers put a heel drop on baby shoes...should parents avoid those too?

Interesting!

Fantastic comprehensive video. Lots of great advice to help the healing process. Wish I knew about heal pressure. I was in so much pain when my leg was propped with pillows. Floating my heal would have given me so much relief!

Best advice...this is a compliment, but I thought you were an Ortho nurse! You really took into consideration practical challenges and solutions! Need more doctors like you. BTW I am a nurse and may have Posterior Tibial Tendon sx soon.

Self foot massage video please

Never knew about the "Even Up" before. Thank you!

Thank you for this video. I had MTP fusion and hammer toe correction 4-3-24. I took all your advice and this really helped!

Dr. Ibrahim , do you have any tips on how to use the bathroom without letting your foot hanging down? I struggle the most on using the bathroom. I find it so hard to find a position with my leg/foot hanging …

I bet you were really good on crutches.

Hi I've just recovered from bunion surgery and a hammer toe straightened. It hurt so much 😪 I've got to have surgery on a bunion on my other foot but no hammer toe this time. Will the pain be less because of this 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 Thank you

I’ve been on the edge about doing fusion of my big toe. After listening to your broadcast twice I decided to go ahead. I’m also an avid mountain hiker and was worried that with a fused joint I would not be able to do it. Seeing you doing it at 73 gave me a boost of confidence. Thank you for all the hard work and creativity that you are putting in into making these programs.

Hello, your videos and content are very nice and useful. What is the reason why you move your toes after putting the foot mask on your feet? Do I need to play it during the waiting period?

I had bunion surgery 19 days ago on my right foot. I still have to fix my left foot. My bunions are pretty large. I woke up from surgery with no pain and walked out of the hospital about 3 hours after my surgery, using a post op shoe; but I had to walk on my heel. My surgeon said using a cane or crutches wouldn't be necessary but I can use them if I felt I needed to. I took pain meds for the first 2 days even though I didn't feel much pain. I just wanted to stay ahead of any pain that may have developed. I iced and elevated religiously for the first 2 weeks. I'm still elevating when I'm off my feet and I ice only when I'm on my feet for a long time and they start to get uncomfortable. I'll finally get to see what my foot looks like in 3 days when I get my bandages and stitches removed. I'll still have to wear the surgical shoe for another 3 weeks. It helps to prepare yourself before surgery by watching videos from people who went through the procedure as well as videos of the actual procedure. Reading all the comments on how painful the healing would be, I was prepared for the worse pain. Thank goodness I didn't experience any of that pain.

Do you see a lot of people on crutches from this injury?
