Hi Community,

I have a foot fracture. Can you please recommend an open medical supply-type place, or perhaps a foot doc, who can help me get fitted for a boot or other device that will protect the foot and allow it to heal? It's not super-painful (my laptop fell on it 2 weeks ago) but I know walking and driving aren't helping. No one else to do these things for me. *Needs to be an inexpensive solution.*

Thanks so much for all ideas!

You may want to check out Amazon for foot boots. They have a variety to choose from. And if it doesn't work, you may be able to return it, although I'm not sure these days.

In the meantime you might try wrapping with KT tape, available at CVS. I was amazed at how it helped
when my son used it on my painful knee. It stayed on even through showers for about a week. CVS has their own brand which is cheaper.
