Dr told me I had a break in the tendon on top of foot. Keep using it as instructed but won't heal. Any ideas?

Question

I fell down a three foot drop onto my left foot about 4 weeks ago. There was very little swelling but my toes and ankle went black with bruising. X-rays don't show a break but the pain is excruciating. The 3rd Dr I saw told me I had a 'break' in a tendon (his actual word) and to use the foot as much as possible in order for it to heal properly. Is this the right advice? I am in a lot of pain and my foot doesn't seem to be healing. I now have shooting pains through the top of my foot into my leg! Any suggestions or advice would be very gratefully received. Thanks

Answer 1

Doctors are useless and your experience reinforces that view point.

Fix it your self, the basic how to information is here http://www.helium.com/tm/148271

Answer 2

Return to the Doctor, 4 weeks is a long time to still be experiencing pain. Best of Luck
