My daughter broke her big toe on a free hip drill.. the next day the orthopedic doc gave us a hard soled shoe to wear and said it should be fine in 4 weeks. That was 3 weeks ago!
After 4 days it hurt too much to walk in that shoe. The 2nd week we bought new boot to wear and that also didn't work so we returned to the doctor and were given a 10 day cast. Today we returned and the cast was removed. Doc said to wear the hard soled shoe for 2 weeks and then to go without it and walk with regular shoes.
Unfortunately, her toe hurt too bad to walk in the shoe after just 2 hrs of walking in it. The original diagnosis was a salter-harris type 1 fracture of the big toe. It was thought to be pretty minor but I'm worried now that they are missing something more serious. Should I push for an MRI or does this sound normal for big toe healing?
