I have to go back to the doctor about my foot

[Ava]

I swear - this doctor is horrible. grrr! he wrapped my foot in an ace bandage and told me to soak my foot in hot salt water to help it heal - this for a BROKEN FOOT. an ace bandage has no support whatsoever for the part of my foot that is broken. well... i just took what he said, have been following it, and hoping that he knows what he's talking about and i was just be dramatic.

i wake up this morning and take off my ace bandage to soak my foot in some water because it was hurting and instantly gasped. i have a bone literally poking out of the side of my foot. it is disturbing looking and even more disturbing to feel when i run my hand over my foot.

1. Second opinion- right now.

Messed up feet are a big problem.

[Ava]

2. Are there alternative doctors around?

Not alternative medicine, but other choices for doctors?

Foot problems can be tricky, though.

6. Any foot problems now even if they heal correctly

can still affect you years down the road. Get another doctor.

[Ava]

9. See a new doctor ASAP, are you close to NYC at all?

I highly recommend the Hospital for Special Surgery - don't let surgery scare you - best Orthopedics around.
