So I had an appointment with an orthopedist today (technically, the doc's an orthopedic surgeon), as a follow-up to the emergency clinic visit last week. Had some additional x-rays taken, as the good doctor wanted different angles than the three which were shot at the clinic. He's concerned by what appears to be a separation between the Cuboid and the Third cuneiform, at the base of my first and second metatarsal bones. We shot a reference x-ray of my right foot, and when comparing the two, you can certainly see there's more of this separation on the injured left foot. Now, it could be nothing; it could simply be the way I'm built on that foot. But it could be indicative of this injury, and the severity of it would determine the remedy, up to and including surgery. Since the x-rays are inconclusive, I'm going in on Wednesday morning for a CT scan and 3D imaging. This will give the doc a better look at the intricate bits, see if it's just ligament damage, or if there are bone flakes getting in the way. Then I'm back in his office on Thursday morning for the results. Worse-case scenario: I have to have surgery on the foot to clean up any messy bits, and possibly have a screw installed to hold things together while the ligaments heal. This is okay by me, because the worst-case scenario is that if things are really bad and I don't have the surgery, my arch could eventually weaken to the point of collapse. And we don't want that, do we? So Wednesday should be interesting. I've never had a CT scan before!
