Dropped huge tv on my Lt. great toe. Went to ER due to bleeding, pain & was told I had compound fracture. Dr. did digital block, then a few stitches. Told me to keep elevated as much as possible. I can t seem to use the crutches so do you think walking on my heel is enough relief from putting pressure on the big toe? He gave me Norco 10 so was able to sleep last night & have had no pain meds today. Said the bones were smashed. Also gave me sulfa for infection & a tetanus shot. I m 71.
Hello, Heel walking is not recommended as the weight-bearing is not uniform and lead to unwanted complications. Better to use crutches as advised by your doctor. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
