A first for me — a foot fracture, tendon pull and walking boot
Posted By RichC on August 20, 2025
Well … I likely waited too long to address a nagging problem with my right foot after too much barefoot beach walking. I thought it would improve over time if I continued to work through the healing process, but month after month since April or so it did not improve.
My PCP diagnosed it in May as Plantar Fasciitis, a common foot problem, but suggested that if it did not improve that I should get an X-Ray and see a podiatrist. My appointment was earlier this week and I was “somewhat glad” to have him show me a small fracture or tendon pull on my right foot — in other words, I was not imagining the pain. He put pressure on the bone and indeed it was painful.
So the best option for me is to wear a boot for a month and take an anti-inflammatory pill each day to reduce inflammation. Let the healing begin! 😊
There is mild arthrosis in the first MTP joint and mild multifocal midfoot arthrosis. No discrete osseous erosion. No focal soft tissue abnormality.
Above is the radiologist writeup and ChatGPT translation/interpretation after my asking: Can you explain further?
