Broken Heel

[Waffle11]

I broke my heel two days ago jumping off a balcony, I know im retarded. Anyways I got an xray and a sizable piece broke off and is floating free. Anyone have any experience with this kind of injury? What do you think my chances are of being able to ski this season?

Did you not ask your doctor any of these questions when you got the x-ray results?

He said he couldn't make any recommendations and I would have to see a foot doctor.

This is pretty serious. It happened to a guy I used to coach. It never healed right and he kept re-breaking it. Listen to what your doctor says, take it easy and baby it. One knuckle landing is all it takes to break it again, if you don't give it enough time.

that sounds pretty gnarly so I would baby it so you can ski in the years to come without breaking it over and over again.

well first you should go to a foot doctor since, ya know, he's a foot doctor

I fractured my heel jumping off a roof a few years ago. It was only like a hairline fracture and I was in a brace thing for 2 months and then it was fine. It sounds like yours is worse though. You'll probably have crutches for a while
