I broke my right fibula on 11/11 a foot to knee splint was put on. 11/13 i was put in foot to knee fiberglass cast 11/28 i was put in an airboot cast. The first 5 days it was great-then the back velcro ripped. My heel was getting rubbed and the foot padding became uneven. I tried to fix it and can not get it to line up and my toes are pushed out of the lining. The middle strap hurts. The boot is giving me no support. 12/19 I am getting xrays to see if i can start using a normal shoe once in a while....ANY ideas besides new lining to ease the pain and provide more cushion? I have been wearing a thin compress sock.
