Hi everyone, my name is Marcia Young. I am here to talk to you about the bones in your feet. After stepping wrong in the yard, my ankle twisted and a small bone snapped in my foot. The shooting pain and bruised skin instantly alerted me to the severity of the problem. I could not move my pinkie toe on that side, so I knew I needed to go into the doctor. I wore a supportive boot for several months and the broken bone healed. I broke that same bone three more times after that. Each time, I had to visit a podiatrist to have that bone placed back in the right spot. I would like to use this site to explore the reason for the repeat breaks in that spot. I will also discuss the function of each bone in the foot. Thanks for stopping by.
