Cuboid Bone Fracture
Hi,
12 days ago my left leg got twisted (invert). I did X ray and shows cuboid bone fracture (attached picture). My ortho Doctor is not sure weather this fracture or not on my cuboid, and confident that will heel within 10 days. However still I have swelling on top of foot and greenish color on back of foot skin.
And having pain when touch on cuboid bone.
Even Doctor put half plaster since swelling is there, and put creape bandage upon it. Still when I remove plaster for applying ice, I can see swelling doesn't go and pain is there on any movement of foot. Night is very painful even elevated.
Pls advise and pls find x ray for your kind perusal & suggestion.
