I don't ride dirt bikes but this is the only forum where I could find info on shattered navicular bones. I broke mine into 11 pieces back in May and have had 2 surgeries since. I just got cleared to walk without the boot for the first time today and my foot feels way off. My balance, and coordination is pretty bad and my ankle flexibility is pretty much shot. Is my foot going to get back to normal or am I going to be limping around forever? I'm 22 so I should be healing relatively well, but are my days with high impact sports over?
Basically, you are waking up your foot from a long nap. It takes time to wake up, as they are not morning feet.
Edit: That is what I did when I shattered my lower Tib/fib and couldnt use my foot for 3 months. Foot was weak and hurt like hell, you gotta do exercises and keep using the boot as much as you can.
I drove my foot up thru my lower leg.
I'd be pulling it thru its range of motion with a towel or such to break up the scar tissue

'First time riding back after the injury?!! - just taking a small jump by the looks of it?
Sort of impressed- you don't do things by half do you!?!
Credit to you guys and really hope the injuries heal as well as is possible.
About 1 year ago all my back/ Sciatic nerve messed up, I collapsed and was stuck to be able to move, ended up in an ambulance and then finally in hospital.
They dosed me up so much on Morphine, Ibrofen, tramadol and other stuff also.
I took so may ibrofens that I was eating them like sweets daily for weeks- didn't realise the side effects like a muppett (when I should have).
To cut along story short, terrible stomach pains after, for about 1 month, probably stomach ulcers caused by the large intake of Ibrofens. Expect many meds have a bundle of not so good side-effects- so wise to look stuff up before taking a load of them and ending up in another type of mess..... 'out of the frying pan into the fire... !'
After 16 weeks lying down with my foot up, and now 4 weeks back at work.
The bigest issue is the lack of movement in the navicular area and swelling.
Lots of pain killers and anti inflammatory, and i still walk like Egor!
Hang in there Bro!
Doc said I would never run again, I said eff you, I WILL SO!
8 surgeries (4 L, 4 R) and a subtalar fusion later
Turns out he was right :-(
You are young which plays heavy in your favour, follow Docs orders and hit physio hard when you have the green light.
That is your best chance of success!

You could sit around and feel sorry for yourself and never return to high impact sports again, or get after it and get back to normal , or even achieve a higher level than you had before. Your belief will determine your future, not a doctor or anyone else.
Are you immediately going to be 100% after this, or course not, it's going to take some time.
I do have issues with shoes and boots. I can't wear some slip on or western boots since my foot is a little thicker so they seem to be a 1/4 size off. Lace up boots or shoes are OK though. My foot stayed swollen for quite a while after surgery. I had to wear 2 different size rubber fire boots for a while. It looked hilarious since they are only in full sizes and were two different brands.
