Post the X-ray! Here's mine:



I had a month in a cast, a month in a boot, and then I was riding on a trainer for a month before I ventured forth. Recovery took a lonnnnnng time. It was almost 3 years before I could stand up on the pedals to pound up a hill for an extended period of time.
Hi, I just wanted to reach out to you. I broke my heels, had hardware in them. You should be concerned, because at least with me eventually the peroneous longus tendon abraded on the hardware resulting in the tendon to lengthen. Unfortunately the big toe ended up lifting 3/4" supinating the foot. Then a surgeon ended up having to do some major surgery to flatten both of my foot.
