Capsulities, stress fracture or something else?

Question

I had a fracture on my cunieform bone of the first toe and that has healed (according to the xray). But I had a couple of bones floating around near the navicular bone that they removed. But my toe still hurts and foot. So I went back to the doctor and he said that I have capsulities in the toe joint. So okay he gave me Reflan for a month - still have pain but not as bad with the medicine. My toe still hurts with pain radiating up - and when I walk - every once in awhile it will just give me a stabbing pain and I can't put weight on it. Sort of like giving out, that feeling. There is no swelling except below where the doctor cut into my foot. Help please.

Answer 1

i believe you should consult your doctor again... iof the same doctor never help much, do visit a specialist..... get a doctor who really udnerstand your pain.... cos the pain is suffered by you and not the doctor....

Answer 2

I broke the fifth metatarsal in my foot 5 weeks ago so badly the surgeon had to screw the bone back together. I had no damage to my ankle, yet, my ankle hurts like heck. I asked the doctor about this today and his answer may be of some relation to your pain. He told me that absence of movement in joints can cause impingement of nerves and pain from muscles/ligaments tightening up causing spasms. Scar tissue can also be a factor and therapy can be of help. There are two types, forgive me, I can't remember the medical terms right now, but one is a mild electro type stimulus which breaks up scar tissue and reduces inflammation, the other I can't recall at the moment (been at the doctor's office for 3 hours and I'm pooped). Consider asking your doctor about these possibilities. Sure hope you feel better soon, it's a real pain in the foot:)
