The tech who took my cast off and put me in a boot was just like this tech, so rough and regardless for keeping my ankle stable. It hurts when they are tugging a pulling on the velcro straps. Every person who casted me and helped me with my boot said they never had a broken bone before. I let them know of freaking hurts and to be more gentle. Ridiculous I'm still pissed at this stupidity.

My 10 year old sister broke her ankle at school from knee sliding she had to add surgery because she broke her growth plate and the two bones in her ankle the first thing I said to her was "womp womp"
Yes. So basically you are gonna face away from the bath tub and sit on the ledge. Then you are gonna wanna turn around and grab onto the wall and put your non broken ankle into the water. Then slide in the tub
If you break it you can’t put any weight on it. You can take it off when you take a bath but you just shouldn’t put pressure on it because it can hurt it even more
I got a jones fracture and was in a cast for 5 weeks. Couldn’t cope, just got out of it and plan on getting a boot. Doc said no weight on foot for 6 weeks. Miss playing soccer 😢
I just fractured my ankle last week and man it sucks so bad. Mine is like that but shorter, finally going to the orthopedist after already having two doctor visits, idk what they’re gonna do since we already know it’s broken and I have a boot Andd I have crutches already😐 But does anyone know how to clean the cloth? I can’t find anything on/and if I can clean it, it’s getting on my nerves.
Hey, I just got a very bad ankle sprain I don't think it's broken tho it's been a week and it feels like hell and I still can't walk . Can you walk yet ? Does it still hurt ?
Hi, oh gee hope you recover well! Yes I can walk now normally, though since my boot gave boost to my height on my leg so it was uneven. It did make it hard to get back to my regular walking but it turned out well. So far it hasn’t hurt in awhile, I would say to be pretty careful after the doctor says yes to having the boot off. I made a mistake and accidentally sat on my ankle, and it poped loudly so I had to go back to the boot for another few weeks. But after that it did go back to normal. So be very cautious after the boot is off, and while you have it make sure to ice it!!
@@aracelychavez9769 thank you happy to hear that I don't have a boot tho only the plastic splint. Did it ever hurt after putting your ankle down from elevation ? It feels like hell when the fluid comes back to the foot
@@mosaine3929 hey bro ive been through that it gets better as time passes you just gotta be careful listen to the doc's advice and train your leg and stretch it for the full range of motion back. It hurts as hell but as time goes on it becomes easier for sure
Beats an Achilles rupture(mine) where you’re out for at least half a year to a year. You’re going to be okay! Sending prayers and best wishes to your recovery ❤️🙏🏻
Bro u sprained ur ankle I have sprained mine like 50 times, wrapped up my ankle and good to go. Usually only a week and a half to recover. Ur gonna be fine!!
Ohhh so your ankle was not broken and you still had to wear the boot? I’ve sprained my ankle 5 days ago and the doctor gave me just crutches for the first 3 days and then he said I should start walking without them
@@giuliagiacintucci5890 so yeah I tore my ligament and apparently it’s worse than breaking a bone. I did it by jumping off a bar on the playground at school, my mom thought it was just sprained so I walked on it for 2 weeks!!!!!!
I just sprained my ankle really bad but I don’t have anything on my foot yet cus I didn’t go to the doctors yet but I’m going tomorrow so I might get a boot on it
@@JulietteTheroux-rv6cr why you being rude about it I'm just saying that it's been hurting like so if someone comments like advice not boo hoo that's kinda rude. And it still hurts now so don't be rude to me
Sorry to hear! I broke my right ankle 4 weeks ago. You’ll graduate to a boot after 2 weeks (from surgery if needed). I don’t think either are comfortable. We’ll get through it! Best wishes!
@@KM-tb8yrhi I did have surgery i have 3 plates and how many screws 2 rods. I broken my left ankle by a heavy dirt bike, they told me that my ankle was shattered they had to rebuild my ankle. Then I left the hospital got in to a splint then had that on for (4-5weeks) then I got in to my fiberglass hard cast I have had it on abut (6weeks) then a boot for (2weeks) they told me it will take a abut (8weeks to heel). Good bless you I hope your doing good
@@fearless110o my! That’s horrible to hear what you went through! I’m glad to see you’re making progress! It’s definitely a journey. I’m ready to start PT next week in hopes to get walking again soon. It definitely helps to talk through it with others who have experienced similar injuries (sounds like yours was even more severe than mine). Prayers and for full healing and a speedy recovery! Blessings to you as well!
@@KM-tb8yrhey my bad I don’t have 3 plats and no rods.(I have a long plate and 6 screws) sorry for telling you that I add all of the (they told me that)
Oof I broke mine a few weeks ago I’m in a cast right now. In a week from today I’m getting a boot and I can walk again. Gotta stay strong bro! How’d you break it?

Same to me they actually worsened it
I just fractured my tibia and im sorry you had that experience the person put on my brace/immobilizer also had chronic knee pain so she was awesome!
Thats true

I had worse....A grade 3 complete tearing of 2 ankle ligaments which required me to sleep in my Pneumatic Cam walking boot for 4 to 6 months
My 10 year old sister broke her ankle at school from knee sliding she had to add surgery because she broke her growth plate and the two bones in her ankle the first thing I said to her was "womp womp"
@@TheBatmanWhoSmilesBackohhhh noooo hope she is doing OK

Does anyone know how to go bath with it v
Yes. So basically you are gonna face away from the bath tub and sit on the ledge. Then you are gonna wanna turn around and grab onto the wall and put your non broken ankle into the water. Then slide in the tub
Girl u can take off the boot

No you gotta take it off while u sleep
@@phasmanuubno you don’t you can wear to sleep and take off if (the doctor tell you)
@@fearless110 no unless very serious because I've broken my foot 2 times and my ankle once and every time the doctor said to take off while sleeping
How can i get that medical boot
How soon after your break did you get the boot question mark
I got mine put on today and it was 6 weeks post-op.
@@Zentrious Ok, I got mine after 2 weeks. I had a splint for the first 2 weeks.
