Hi! I (23f) had a lisfranc dislocation 2 years ago! I wish I knew this sub existed earlier
As you can see, I had a pretty severe lisfranc dislocation where I ripped all of the tendons in my foot and also fractured one of my bones (not fun) and so I have had 2 surgeries so far, 1 after I was first injured and 1 a few months later. Unfortunately I am not an athlete or anything impressive like some of you, I simply tripped and fell while trying to catch the bus.
I would really really love to say I recovered so well and everything's great but highkey this did absolutely ruin my life and I lost my job and now I live with my dad :)))) and it hasn't returned to normal. I do feel like I wasn't properly warned by my doctors that this could last my whole life but it's whatever at this point. I also have been dealing now with severe joint pain in my arms and legs and am practically bedridden (guys, go to the doctor if something feels wrong! This happened to me slowly overtime because I wasn't getting proper help after I finished my 'recovery') so now my doctor thinks maybe I have gotten rheumatoid arthritis or a similar chronic inflammation condition from this whole stressful experience (awesome and very fun new development)
I'm not sure exactly why i am making this post, I feel very isolated because I don't know of anyone else like myself. I didn't know there was even a subreddit like this. I guess I would like to talk to some of you, especially if you had a dislocation like mine and/or are experiencing full body chronic joint pain too, but if you had a minor injury or have some questions about mine that's okay too.
I hope anyone reading this has a great day and your recovery goes well!! I hope hearing that I am not feeling the best all this time later isn't too discouraging, I am only one person and though I did physical therapy I am sure l didn't keep it up at home as much as I should have. Plus it has only been 2 years! Who knows what can happen.
