I was in a boot for a stress fracture in my right foot in 2015. Threw my left hip out as soon as I was out of the boot in January 2016. Went through chiropractic care and helped. But finally got an SI joint brace in March of 2017. It's been a lifesaver! Wish I'd known about it sooner.

I TOO SUFFER FROM CAM BOOT. I have been in boot for 9 weeks, first six no weight bearing on boot. Last 3 weeks i have been allowed to walk on it and began shortly after to experience excruciating pain in low back radiating down right leg. (Sciatic nerve pain). I broke my distal fibula 9 weeks ago and saddest part is that the pain is nowhere close to what im experiencing now. It has been so bad that i cant even stand up. Nobody warned me. i am appaled to the fact that such treatment can do more harm then good and still remains on the market.

I am soooo appreciative of the Even-Up suggestion. My first day with the boot and my hip already hurts. The Even-Up should arrive in a few days, and the healing of my ankle will not be at the expense of a bad hip. Thank you.

Thank you. I've been in my boot three days and just started having hip pain. Ordered the evenup and hoping it helps. I'm in my boot for six weeks. I can't imagine how much worse my hip pain would be if I hadn't read your post.

I found there were limited sizes and I ended up tripping all over the place and getting blisters. Had to stop using. Do these work for Anyone. Yoga seems to help, but - this sounds strange - it seems like my hips are getting wider?!? I thought I was doing well but (maybe it was my first lunges?) my quad and associated areas became quite touchy and it's been just traveling weirdness from there. Hoping I'll hear positive stories about people who dealt with this and how! One side too tight. The other way weak and loose. In boot about 3 weeks. But I walked a lot in my daily life. Something suburban doc didn't take into account maybe

I am having this problem , after wearing air cast for broken foot. Did you get any relief ? Any help?

several years ago I fractured my right ankle and had to wear a walking cast and wearing it was more painful than just limping around without it on.... I didn't think the dr gave me the right size boot to begin with because it seemed like my right leg was atleast an inch taller than my left side. Though I only had to wear it several weeks, I hated it because I walked lop sided. It has been several years since being stuck wearing that device and ever since my hip and lower back pain keeps getting worse, I think because of the walking cast. It hurts to stand still and when I do I still lean to one side like when I wore the cast. Because of my increasing back/hip joint pain I spend most of my days sitting or laying down because standing or walking feels like excess pressure. I use all sorts of muscle rubs, pills that are supposed to help releive pain, etc. but nothing helps. Day by day the stress of the pain gets worse and more intense.

I fractured my Left ankle 7 months ago and was in the cam boot also. Now I’m having terrible right hip pain. Thanks for the suggestions

Sounds very similar to me! Currently in a boot on right foot, due to a stress fracture, and both achilles and peroneal tendonitis. I've had the boot for about 3 weeks now, and the intense LEFT hip and lower back pain is near constant now. It is a dull pain/deep ache most of the time, but there are moments of the shooting pain, and almost a feeling of stomach or lower back muscle cramping/spasms. And then back to just the dull ache/pain.
Just ordered heel lifts for my left leg, so hopefully this corrects the problem before anything more serious arises!
