About this episode
If you get an overtraining injury like a metatarsal stress fracture or a plantar plate sprain or Achilles tendonitis, or peroneal tendonitis, a doctor might prescribe a fracture walking boot.
Well, it is designed to hold you still so that you can hopefully walk on something like a fracture and still let it heal. The reason for this episode is this morning I was on a call with someone who has been wearing a boot and he is curious why all of a sudden, he is starting to have some aching pain in the boot in the morning when he first gets up and steps on his foot while wearing the boot.
What are the two reasons you might get pain when you have been wearing a fracture walking boot for a running injury? Well, that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
