How did you arrive at the diagnosis of a torn foot ligament? Was this diagnosis made by an examination by an Internist or by an Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in foot injuries? Did they perform imaging studies (ie, x-rays, MRI, etc) to assist in making the diagnosis? If evaluated by a physician what was there recommendations to expedite the healing process?Originally Posted by RWS811

Im looking for alternative's to my regular mandated exercises, Could take up to a year or longer to get to 100%, and it will never fully heal.

However, I consulted with an physician who specializes in this area and he provided me with orthotics in my shoes resulting in the dissappearance of my painful symptoms.

It completly depends on how you injured your foot. What did you injure, what was the mechanism of the injury (aka how did you injure it?)

That doesn't tell you a whole lot. Basically all the doctor has done with the x-rays is rule out a break.Originally Posted by RWS811
Go to an orthopedic surgeon. They'll know what's wrong, and what you can do about it.In 1945, Adolf Hilter died and went to Hell. Satan asked, "why are you in Hell?" He replied, "I am responsible for the massacre of millions" Satan said, "well done, sit to the right of my throne." In 1953, Joseph Stalin died and went to Hell. Satan asked, "why are you in Hell?" He replied "I killed millions to stay in power" Satan said "good, sit to my left" 2010, Ronnie James Dio died and went to Hell, Satan asked, "why are you in Hell?" Dio replied, "Bitch, get the fuk off my throne!"

Yea your gonna have to go to the Orthopedic. Your going to get a MRI and from there you will know whether you'll have to get surgery or not.
