• Hi my name is Conell I am 40yrs old I recently joined the broken foot gang on Jan 11th 2012 a lis franc fracture I broke it in four places and tore the ligaments the Dr said i did great job wrecking it. I understand that this is a special club being that it is so uncommon of a fracture. So please if there is anyone out there that might have some advice or any type of new info it would be greatly appreciated.  This has been a major life changer I had broken my fibula once before in my left leg and it was nothing like this. This has been pretty painful. And I know pain I was bitten in my face by a dog when I was 11 I got 300 stitches for that then in 1999 i had my right wrist totally fused due to an injury from a car accident. After that I fractured my back in two places the  L1 and a T12 vertebrae and messed up a couple of others they wanted to do surgery but so far I have decided against it and just live with the pain. The only good thing to come from that  they found a tumor in my left kidney while they were doing my cat scan that turned out to be positive for cancer so they did a partial nephroctomy thank God . And I didnt have to do any chemo either. I almost forgot I also had to have my appendix removed because it ruptured that was before I broke my back.  Then more recently I had to have surgery On both of my knees for  minicus tears and my right shouloder for a rotator cuff tear all three came out fantastic my Dr was a dr sinha in flushing N.Y.  I wish i could say that was the end but its not about 3 years ago I amputated two of the whole tips of my fingers on my right hand the ring and middle finger  my fingers sort of look like the bars from the old cell phone add cingular at n t.  I almost forgot an oldie I also broke my right arm when i was a kid. And i also had a slight skull fracture over my left eye when i was attacked by 3 guys in a deli i used to own they pretty much left me for dead it was crazy. And now this nightmare has begun I can imagine what I am in for so if there is anyone out there with some advice it would be appreciated. One other thing I would like to mention is how important it really is to have a good support group my wife has been fantastic she is my hero and my family has been incredible thank god because you know what even with all of these obstacals that have been thrown at me  know that GOD has got my back and he is there for all just have faith. I hope the best to all
