Open Compound Fracture Of Right Calcaneus, Constant Pain. Will It Disable Me For Rest Of My Life?
I suffered an open compound fracture of my right calcaneus in May. I am in constant pain and can only tolerate short periods on my feet. I was a RN working 12 hr shifts in an open heart unit. My surgeon told me I have to get a desk job. Is this injury going to disable me for the rest of my life. I am only 47 and healthy.

you have given just breifingof open fracture but not of what treatment you have taken, what operative procedure done? do not worry your problem is fixable if treated completely you can get 100 percent releif,contact orthopedician for further help.
hope this will solve your query.
