I slipped in a puddle of water in front of my fridge. Having hardwood floors, the motion was VERY fast and smooth. Can't tell exactly how I landed on my foot but I'm 5'8 and weigh 175 lbs.
No pain in or near ankle. The EXCRUCIATING pain was across the top of the midfoot just before it's widest points. There is slight bruising on the underside of foot on side of big toe and top side of foot on side of pinkie toe. Horrible pain to move toes at all. This pain radiated up to my knee with the most severe point being behind the knee. Oddly, there was only slight pain when the injury first occurred and over the next 2 hours became absolutely unbearable causing me extreme embarrassment in the ER as I was literally writhing and crying in pain. No fracture seen. UNBELIEVABLE to me!!! But I was surprised when the ortho tech came in and applied a soft cast/half cast/splint thing up to my knee. This happened on 7/20 and I will call doc monday for f/u. Lisfranc was my own guess not doc
