@marietter One tip I could give you about the Cam boot is to make sure the shoe you wear on the other foot matches it in height. My husband started with a stress fracture in the foot, wore a Cam boot, and then developed a partial Achilles Tendon tear in the ankle of the leg wearing a normal shoe. That uneven stress can also throw your pelvis or knee out of whack. The best way to avoid further stress and possible injury is to keep the best alignment you can with your joints because they affect each other. I have recovered from a bad ankle fracture and I also released tension on the muscles in that leg using techniques of myofascial release to stretch out the tight fascia and the scar tissue from the surgeries. I had a lot of tendon and ligament pain until I did that and evened out the tension on both side of my ankle. The scar tissue tightens up and pinches the joint together, but if I keep it stretched, I can walk without pain.
