You can believe me when I tell you that getting injections in your instep hurts like a bastard.

My podiatrist is trying to treat my Lisfranc fracture without surgery. Ow ow ow.

[REP]

1. I believe you

I had five injections in the arch once. I wince in sympathy for you. Mean doctor to jab needles in a fracture!

2. I believe you, my dear ohiosmith...

That sounds awful! Would the surgery be a better choice? I really have no idea...

I hope you won't need these awful injections very long...

:hug:

10. Hey CP. Surgery is risky. Lots of complications, especially since the injury occurred more than si...

months ago. :hi:

3. The instep is the top part, right?

I would never dream of doubting this claim; I've dropped enough things on my feet to know that those little bony areas can start hurting if you just look at them funny...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear petronius...

Actually, the instep is the lower, arched part, underneath...

:hi:

[petronius]

7. Guess I need to google up a diagram. Not that the bottom part

sounds any less painful... :)

11. It actually is the top of th foot between the ankle and toes.

:hi:

5. Jesus, my foot hurts just READING that!

Hope it works out for you.

6. Had them in the balls of my feet when I had some plantar warts removed.

OMG, I was laying back in a chair like one a dentist uses, and I thought I would go headfirst backward off the chair. I've had needle biopsies in my neck and injections in my knees and occipital nerves, but nothing equals that foot pain, for sure.

Hopefully these inections will help you and it won't be pain in vain. :rofl:

13. I read your post as far as "Had them in the balls"...

8. Ouch!.

I know it hurts. I had a wasp sting me there once.

Hope you feel better soon!

9. Where exactly is that? Sorry...I've heard the term but didn't know where that was

and now I ask because I have terrible blisters ( from walking last night...long story ) below my toes...the front of my feet..both feet!

Sorry to hear about those injections...nothing more debilitating than foot problems :(

17. Fell backward as I was climbing into a Land Rover in Namibia last February. My foot caught in the

ladder. The injections are for the inflammation.

Thanks :hi:
