Crushed foot injury?


any personal experiences with a crushed foot, what are the long term affects, pain level, nerve damage, etc... any info appreciated

Looking for individuals who have actually suffered this type of injury and did not lose the foot. Few broken bones, mainly soft tissue, nerve, muscle, tendon damage.

yeah i suffer everyday ,from a crushed foot , i had it ran over by a 35,000lb forklift , the doctor said that it juust broke the big toe in 2 places , he did nothing for it , now i havee pain everyday , for the rest of my life , because of post traumatic arthuritis in the foot

it was feburary 10 ,2005 , and the doctor refused to give me a permanent impairment , thats why i had to hire an attorney Report It

Dang, depends on how much damage is done...if you fell off a motorcycle, go see a orthopedic specialist for surgery/cast, etc and expect a few months of recovery. Generally, if you have feeling in your toes, chances of nerve damage are small. If you dropped a heavy object, it's a different story. A bit of icing, keeping it elevated, keeping pressure off it, and in a few days it will be fine. But if you got a fever, or it keeps hurting, see a doctor! The worst thing you can do is not treat it if it needs treatment, because as my mother found out, the foot will heal itself in a non-optimal way. So what? Well, considering you got some dozzen bones, a few dozzen muscles, etc. if they end up healed in a weird position, then you can't quite walk right.
