r/AccessoryNavicular

So I’m getting my cast off September 1st and then I’m supposed to transition into a boot, but I have no idea how long I’ll actually be in the boot or when I’ll be walking normally again.
My boyfriend surprised me with a trip to NYC October 8th 😭
For anyone who’s had accessory navicular/modified Kidner surgery, do you think I’ll be walking by then? Even if I’m still in the boot? Or should I just tell him to cancel the trip? 😭
I know everyone heals differently, I just wanna hear how long it took you guys to get back to walking!

i’m almost 4 months post op and one thing that has never gone away is the sensitivity and weakness in my toes. i can’t even have a blanket on my toes at night cause the blanket feels too heavy. my PT says my toes feel pretty weak and i have pain and soreness on the top and bottom of my toes and no one can figure out what’s going on 😭 any one else experience this?

I just transitioned out of the boot and am walking on my foot again. It’s been pretty tough. I have a red spot on the back end of my incision that burns, kinda feels like raw skin if you can like imagine that. It’s warm to the touch. I have been on my feet all day for work and probably should be taking it easier so it could just be that my foot is sore. But it’s not a sore feeling it hurts like a cut almost. Idk but is this normal.

My daughter is almost 12. She is a dancer. Loves to dance and takes about 6 hours a week of dance including ballet, tap, modern hip hop. In addition to that she is in karate and being very competitive. This kids is very sporty and loves to move. Well an about 6 month ago she hurt her ankle doing jumping jacks. And that is how we found out she has accessory navicular bone on both her feet. :((

We stopped all the activity and did boot for like 6 weeks and even did crutches for a few weeks. The pain went down to about 1/10 most of the time to about 3/10 once in a while. But we know that pain needs to be 0 to go back to her activities.

After the boot we did physical therapy for like 1.5 month. Again no major improvement but not bad. She is not in huge pain. She can do almost all karate but I am afraid to let her do ballet or acrobatics or anything like this. But I really really want her to do what she loves. And that is dance!!

Any ways, we finally asked for MRI and MRI shows inflammation between her navicular and the regular bone. Now they are saying she needs boot again for one month and PE for another month. Why do this when we already did it.

The next step is injections of plasma I think. I feel like it’s going to end with a surgery. Anyone done it with kids? Is it bad? What to expect?
