I injured myself in mid July but no fracture noted. After going to a specialist 2 weeks ago it was diagnosed as a lisfranc injury. I was then told to wear the camboot till 9-28 and then take it from there. Well, when I went 2 weeks ago the majority of my pain had dissipated but I knew something was wrong being it did still hurt 6 weeks later but NOW 2 weeks after being in the boot, my foot is hurting quite a bit again!!! What happened? And now I no longer have hope that the boot will work. I'm pretty sure there is going to be further SOMETHING......possible surgery the doctor said with screws and pins .......AND THERE ISNT EVEN A VISIBLE FRACTURE!!! What is up with that!!! How can this be soo BIZARRE!!! Please help with ANY info about this injury you might have.

Lisfranc injuries result if bones in the midfoot are broken or ligaments that support the midfoot are torn. It is a severe injury that may take many months to heal and may require surgery to treat. If standard treatment for a sprain (rest, ice, elevation) does not relieve pain and swelling of the Lisfranc injury, you should seek care from a podiatrist or podiatric surgeon.
