In May I fell and twisted my left foot in. It became swollen and bruised so I propped and iced for a day. I had assumed it was just a sprain so I haven't done much else, but in the past couple of weeks I realized that a sprain wouldn't take this long to heal. Plus the area that hurts is on the top of my foot towards the outer edge, not the ankle, and there's a bony lump there.
I finally went to the ortho last week. He x-rayed but didn't see anything. Then he orders an MRI, which to me means, $$$$$$$$$$$$$.
My problem with getting it is that he put me in a hard soled shoe to immobilize the foot. I asked him what would the tx be if the MRI found a fracture and he said "the hard soled shoe". Um, if the tx is the exact same why do I need to use my WDW fund to pay for an MRI??
What would you do?
