Initially at the hospital my foot didn't look so bad. Swollen and painful but visually it didn't seam like anything special. If it had not of hurt so much I wouldn't have gone in at all. I knew I hurt myself but I had no idea what I was in for.
The ER doc got ex-rays and informed me I had a break in the third metatarsal. He gave me pain meds and told me I could walk on it. I thought, 'this man is crazy, no way am I walking on it'. I was referred to a podiatrist.
The podiatrist did a weight bearing ex-ray and determined a Lisfranc injury and sent me for ct scans. The visuals for the ct were really cool, btw. Anyways, it was determined I had 5 fractures and 2 dislocations. This became easier to believe once the bruising pattern started to show. Classic bruising on the under foot and along the outside edge of the top.
