A-Z Journey of a Broken Foot (Lisfranc Injury)

If you’d like to know about my own injury, here’s a link to the inside scoop J But my daily A-Z posts are more general and informative, just the time comes, you know what someone is going through because, trust me, it’s not ‘just a broken foot!’

INJECTIONS - An instance of injecting or being injected: painkilling injections ....... To prevent a Deep Vein Thrombosis subcutaneous injections are administered after the surgery. The duration varies, dependent on the health authority, but 2 weeks seems to be the minimum. The injections themselves do not hurt too much, but the bruises afterwards can!

INSOLES - A removable sole worn in a shoe for warmth, as a deodoriser or to improve the fit: They don't offer a whole lot of arch support, but the insole is removable, which makes it easy to add one that gives you more if you need it....... Insoles are often needed after complex foot surgery as sometimes the arch can completely collapse. If that happens you need moulds taken and 'proper' insoles created rather than over the counter ones.
