Well, been over 4 weeks now and seems to be getting stronger but I can't work out if I cant put all weight on it or if I'm afraid to! Anyone any experience?

Didn’t break but done in ligaments several years back, if your body is saying no listen to it. Ease it in steady..

Keep it above your heart. Getting that swelling down will help.

Depends what was broken. I presume you got some medical advice. If you have a broken foot not sure your leg should be swollen

Yes, have been wearing a support boot thing this past 3 weeks, was told to.keep it as tight as possible, so guess that's why leg is swelling a bit. Have yo go back in at end of next week so suppose can ask about swelling then. Hoping to be back to normal soon.

Slid/fell off stack of round bales yesterday and caught left foot on edge of one of the pallets we put underneath them and a trip to a&e and I have a broken 5 metatarsal so I am in said boot aswell just about to start lambing so going to be fun! Got insurance which will pay for some help for feeding times I hope!

Is it a boot with a lot of velcro on it, it doesn't work so well when it gets dirty

Dropped a heavy tractor trumpet on the top of my foot years ago. Didn’t get any medical treatment but it was painful and took a long while to come right. As usual with farm work everything seems to trample on it and slows recovery down. Just support go steady and patience lots of it

Lubrication always helps
should have been mobile, he never stopped, even fell and broke a few toes when the crutches slipped. however had full ovement in his foot and ankle when cast removed.
the jf 900 drawbar fell on his foot broke one bone and cracked another or something, a real typical straight forward break as you would know.
