Guest kitrisomeday Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 So, as you might know, I got a contusion (bad bruise) in my big toe. I went to the emergency room, and, as well as putting a splint on it, they recommended that I wear the "hard shoe". This shoe that they gave me was designed so that I did not have to use my toe to walk. I have been wearing this shoe almost all day since Thursday. I took it off a couple hours ago, because I dont have any need for it. But, now my arch hurts unbearably. I guess this "hard shoe" provided no arch support and now my arch muscle hurts to walk. Help!! Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Manipulate your ankle and foot at least down to the metatarsal arch. You will need a little time to get used to working without the walking boot, and a little massage can help. Quote Link to comment
