Broken Foot

[spongerx]

Long story short I broke the cuboid bone in my right foot. Anyone have experience with how long it'll take this bad boy to heal? I'm hoping to snowboard this winter...

fracture shortest time to heal is 6 weeks, 2-3 month if its completely broken

If thats the case then I'll should be able to hit the slopes by February 1st. Not too bad considering. :bravo:

I wish. I'm advised to stay completely off my foot. I'm on week 6 of 8. Hoping that 8 will be enough so I can get back to work but I won't know until I see the doc in January. I broke it crashing my motorbike so I'm thankful it's not worse but snowboarding... oh snowboarding......how I miss you..

yeah but you want to move your foot around if its no longer swollen, scar tissue building up can be problematic in the future.

Don't push it. I shattered my ankle and needed a plate and six pins to put it back together, and I ignored the doc and started walking too soon and screwed up my ankle permanently.

Listen to your doc, and rehab exactly like he/she says.

I'm in one of those cam walker boots. I take it off when sleeping so I'm getting movement in the foot. It's been a long journey. I crashed my bike in CO september 2nd. Couldn't get to the doc in Montana till the 8th and the Xray was clear. So I took a few weeks off because of the "sprain." After going back to work for a few weeks it still wasn't healing so I asked for an MRI. Nice clean break through the Cuboid. So now I've been on crutches for 6 weeks with at least 2 more to go. Maybe I should just return my ski pass and start thinking about next year. I would hate to damage it for life.
