So I figured I'd post this now that I have an idea on when I can start rehabbing. Anyone ever heard of a lisfranc injury? Well, I hadn't either until about 4 weeks ago. Long story short, I was in my weekly trampoline/trapeze class and landed wrong on the tramp. As soon as I landed, I knew I hurt my right foot. After icing for a bit, I decided I better start driving home before it swelled up. After multiple Xrays and an MRI, I was finally diagnosed with a lisfranc sprain- which is a sprain of the mid foot, essentially the part that holds your entire foot together. The good news is that none of the bones fractured and that I didn't have any ligaments detach - both of those require immediate surgery. Bad news is that this usually takes a long time to heal. I've been non-weight bearing and in a boot since it happened and that will continue for another 2 weeks (I have been able to drive even though it's my right foot). Then I can start partial weight bearing and PT. There isn't a ton of info on this type of sprain and the recovery process/ long term effects as lisfranc injuries are uncommon and most of them end up being fractures and needing surgery. But I'm staying hopeful.
I did end up getting a cool crutch that has allowed me to get around much easier. It's called the iWalk. If anyone needs to be NWB for a long period of time, I highly recommend it- it's been a life saver. And I don't live in a palm tree area, so that is not me in the picture, but I'm sure I look just as good on mine
