Actress and former Jenny Craig commercial star Valerie Bertinelli suffered a broken foot earlier this year. During her appearance on The Talk, Bertinelli claims that her broken foot has prevented her from working out, resulting in the One Day At A Time star packing on forty pounds. Although Bertinelli is none too happy about her gains, she is angrier towards the fat-shaming that goes on in Hollywood.
Much to the audience’s delight, Bertinelli said on The Talk; “I started thinking, ‘Why do I feel so much shame?’ Because the cameras are on me? Because the paparazzi can’t wait to get a picture of me looking like I’ve gained a few pounds? We have to take the shame out of it! It’s not fair!” Fortunately for Bertinelli, she’s back at the gym and ready to start working out again.
A broken foot might break your normal routine, but it can still be manageable. If you injured your foot and think it may be broken, see podiatrist Paula F. Raugellis, DPM of Greene Podiatry Assoc Inc. Dr. Raugellis can address your foot and ankle injuries.
Broken Foot Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
A broken foot is caused by one of the bones in the foot ‘breaking’, or fracturing. Bones typically break when the bone is bended, crushed, or stretched beyond its natural capabilities. Usually the location of the fracture indicates how the break occurred, whether it was through an object, fall, or any other type of injury.
Common Symptoms of Broken Feet:
- Bruising
- Pain
- Redness
- Swelling
- Blue (foot)
- Numbness
- Cold
- Misshapen
- Cuts
- Deformities
Those who are experiencing any of these symptoms, or suspect that they have a broken foot, should seek medical attention in a center where x-rays can be performed. This is especially urgent if any of the symptoms include numbness, blue coloring, cold feet, cuts, misshapen toes or deformities as these indicate more severe cases.
