Why am I Doing This?
Six months ago, I took an awkward tumble in my apartment that turned into a bizarrely complex long term problem. What was initially diagnosed as a sprained ankle eventually revealed itself as a rare lisfranc injury. Intrepid interwebber that I am, I looked online first for diagnosis and eventually for more information on this strange injury. The information available was, at best, confusing and outdated, and at worst, horrifying. So, while laid up in recovery I thought I might type down some of my experiences so far with the lisfranc, in hopes that I might fill in something of the void in terms of current, helpful, non-terrifying information about this odd little injury that entered my life.
Good luck! It is really useful to find out what other people have done that worked!
I’ve also suffered from a lisfranc injury…going on about 3 months now. I’ve been stalking your page, as well as a few others and I’m sorry to hear about the few surprises you’ve experienced. Good luck with your recovery!
Thanks, good luck to you too! Yes, I’ve had a few disappointments along the way but I really am coming along with the recovery. I should post an update, actually! I’m about 6 weeks in to my physical therapy now and the improvements have come much faster than I imagined they would. Let me know if you have any questions!
I have just found a whole set of blogs, all interlinked about Lisfrancs. In fact I’m thinking of starting one myself ! I am 2 months into my particular injury (dislocated/fractured 2/3/4/5 matatarsals) and have just gone itno a boot, so will watch your blog with interest. It’s interesting to see the support network that grows up on this understated but serious injury
Me too! Me too! It is such a comfort to find others who are going through what I am dealing with. Most people say Liz who?
I just started my own blog to chronicle my recovey and added you to my blogroll. I hope you don’t mind.
