Feet On Aircast And Burning Hot After Lisfranc Fracture. Is This A Normal Healing Process?
I recently fractured my foot two days ago, lisfranc fracture. I'm in an aircast and sleeping in it at night with my foot elevated but it is burning hot. My foot feels like its on fire as do my toes. Is this a normal healing process? Maybe I shouldn't wear a sock with the aircast?
There is possibility of cast tightness. You should not neglect this problem ,consult your doctor. Watch for swelling on toes. Limb elevation can reduce pain, Regular physiotherapy and exercises are very important for early rehabilitation as my patients find much relief by these therapies.
