[QUOTE="Phil, post: 486984, member: 16754"] In 1999 I broke three bones in my foot, including a metatarsal (which one I can't remember), and shattering part of the navicular bone. I had to travel a hundred miles to worked on by a "really good" orthopedic surgeon. He put in six screws and a plate. You have to be patient, it's going to take a lot of time to heal. In my case, it was a full four months before I was allowed to put any weight on it at all. I was 19 and in pretty good shape when it happened, so I guess I healed as well as anyone could and it still took forever. After about six months it was still really bothering me and I was pretty discouraged by that. It did get a little better though over the next couple years. I think that even after the bone is healed it still takes long time for the ligaments and tendons to heal if you had any damage to those as I did. Three years later I am doing alright, I can run a couple miles sometimes but unfortunately I will never be able to run competitively like I used to. The only advice I can give you is to try and stay healthy and work the rest of your body, it will help you heal faster. Oh, and 800mg Motrin seems to work best for the arthritis you WILL have.
