You have sustained a fracture to a bone in your foot. Please see the picture below to understand where this injury is. You may walk on the foot as comfort allows but you may find it easier to walk on your heel in the early stages. The swelling is often worse at the end of the day and elevating it will help. The boot you have been given is for your comfort only and is not needed to aid healing. Take pain killers as prescribed. If you are worried that you are unable to follow this rehabilitation plan, or have any questions, then please phone the Fracture Care Team for advice.
