Can a walking boot cause back pain.

My foot ankle did cause me pain but wearing this boot is killing me. 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. 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. Use a crutch or a cane.

Walking boots all have a very high surface. My symptoms are sort hip 24 7 by end of day pain sometimes moves to my lower left back. It is not getting better and i m wondering if anyone can suggest something else. It can keep your weight off an area such as your toe as it heals.

A walking boot helps keep the foot stable so it can heal. Also can cause back hip pain. This also leaves your non affected leg a little bit too short. 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.

Most boots have between 2 and 5 adjustable straps and go mid way up your calf. 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. 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. Some google searches on boot gait problems show that sometimes leg length can change due to wearing a boot.
