Fuck off faggot.

Has it gotten a little better over time? Joint pain tends to heal very slow.

>>18491189
Oh fuck off, how is this helpful to OP?

>>18491187
>>Is it normal that so long (5 weeks) after the accident I still feel the pain?
yes. just give it more time. if its still like that in 3 weeks go see a doctor

It has gotten a lot better since the initial pain. For example do no longer have to be careful with stairs.
But for the last two weeks the improvements have plateau'ed. Cooling obviously helps, but I cannot do so 24/7 as my main mode of transport is cycling.
Occasionally, when getting on the bike and standing on one pedal, the pain still shoots up.

>Does it really need this long?
The doctors did not feel the need to fully brace it. I only bandaged for the first days.

This long?

That sounds like you are slowly healing still. This is a good sign, means eventually you'll be fine. You can ask this from your doctor too but I guess it's nothing permanent.

Thanks the reassurance.
Is there anything I can do to aid the process along the way?

>>18491304
Just don't put too much pressure on the joint, like you mentioned earlier yourself, that should be all.

>>18491403
Is there any risk of the foot becoming permanently unstable?

If you are still walking around in it, you're delaying the healing process. Give it as much rest as possible for it to heal faster

Chill, joint damage take ages to heal

I'd say wait until it's been 3 months and see from there. But if it did hurt any ligaments or something major, the exams would have shown.

Think that your feet are spheric joints basically, which are more sensitive already, and they also take half your weight on it each

Afaik, you should be doing hot stuff rather than cold. Cold is just for the first 48 or 72 hours. Now you need to make blood flow better and heat helps it. Also if you live in the US, buy Stop Pain, it's really strong, I bring ton's of it when I go there and basically bathe on that shit if I get hurt somewhere

>3 months
Not that I think it will take that long, but I always thought these things are very common.

>ligament
I think a ligament over extended considerably as I also had a hematoma for quite a while after the injury.

A friend of mine had a partial or complete rupture of his knee ligament, can't remember which one. Most doctors would give him surgery but his just gave him fisioterapy for 6 months and it's now brand new. Way better result than surgery, in a shorter time.

So be as patient as you can, it's not healing overnight. Let it rest as much as possible and wait.
