Broken Foot

[Slab]

So what kind of doctor tells your wife they can walk and even run with a broken foot like this:



Here's the story cause I know you're going to ask. My wife kicked me and injured her foot. No, just kidding. My wife was painting the bathroom ceiling and stepped off the side of the tub onto where she thought a stool was. And oops, down she went.

Anyway, after it happens, she tells me it kinda hurts and maybe she sprained the ankle. She says, she'll talk to her doctor at her appt. she already had scheduled last Thursday 4 days after the incident. Well, they take an x-ray and say, wow, that's a spiral fracture, you need to see a specialist. Well today I take her to a specialist, and he says, yeah well, that looks nice, don't look too bad, just wear tight shoes and do whatever you feel you can. Wifey is a runner so she asks about that, and the doctor say, yeah, no problem. Run, walk, do anything you normally do, as long as you can stand the pain! WHAT! He says, your body will tell you what you can do. Well, telling wifey that means she will be doing a Triathlon in, I'm guessing" two weeks! This is nuts. Just don't seem right to me. I mean, it's broken clean through, the long way at that! I don't get it.

I agree that there is nothing much can be done about it except let it heal....but I do not think that running while its healing is going to help it.

My wife and I are professionals with Doctors so to speak--sounds like you got yourself a winner--or a least a doc with not much of a bedside manner.
Agree with not much you can do other than let it heal--but sure wouldn't encourage agravating the problem.

Cant see where running on it could help it heal at all.

I'd be more apt to believe she was kicking you Slab. LOL I'd MAKE HER stay off it. Those bones will never set if she keeps jarring them
