I just found out i had a fracture in my foot and possibly my ankle still waiting for those mri results and was put into a walking boot for a few weeks.
Can a walking boot cause back pain.
Most boots have between 2 and 5 adjustable straps and go mid way up your calf.
Also can cause back hip pain.
My foot ankle did cause me pain but wearing this boot is killing me.
A tight psoas major can cause a lot of problems with our movement patterns including inhibiting the freedom of the hip joint and causing a compression of the lower spine.
My symptoms are sort hip 24 7 by end of day pain sometimes moves to my lower left back.
In my own practice i am always concerned about the fact that many patients report that walking boots cause pain in proximal joints including the knees hips and spine.
Some google searches on boot gait problems show that sometimes leg length can change due to wearing a boot.
The psoas major is a mysterious muscle deep in the core that is the main muscle of walking and the main muscle of back pain.
A walking boot helps keep the foot stable so it can heal.
Use a crutch or a cane.
It can keep your weight off an area such as your toe as it heals.
The boot can be used for broken bones tendon injuries severe sprains or shin splints.
My whole body is out of wack back hurts hips hurt my other ankle hurts and now i m a slave to advil and tiger balm.
Walking boots all have a very high surface.
Limping from the height difference caused by the boot will lead to hip and or back pain if you are not careful.
One reason for this is the fact that walking boots establish a limb length discrepancy which we often overlook when fitting the devices to the patient.
