lisfranc sprain

I sprained my foot about 7 weeks ago.
About 4 weeks after my injury, they FINALLY decided to send me to an orthopedist.
He put me in a non-bearing cast for 3 weeks, then it will be re-evaluated.
I don’t believe its getting any better.
Would surgery be better?
or is casting it for another 3 weeks appropriate?
i don’t know if im getting the run around or not, b/c I don’t fully understand my injury.
i play college softball and I don’t want my career to be over because of this.

    This is a tough call because I haven’t seen your foot or the Xrays. If you have a sprain and not a fracture or dislocation, then further immobilization would be indicated. If you have a dislocation or fracture that does not heal properly then surgery would be an option. So talk to your doctor who can give you the answers Good luck.
