Does the cuboid bone take a long time to heal?
Answer The cuboid takes a long time. Get cork and leather orthotics (orthoses) with possible soft topcovers–the most expensive and custom made to less expensive over the counter arch supports.The custom ones will work much better. Continue to wrap the foot to above the ankle. If you are overweight-now is a good time to lose some weight. Do range of motion exercises of the calcaneocuboid and metatarsal joints before and after work. When it hurts-if you can stand it-immerse in ice water up to 15 minutes. Take oral anti-inflammatories max dose for a week then decrease. Unless you are an athlete-skip the bronstrom and do strengthening exercise and get a lightweight ankle brace.
