    not all of them are humongous, they do come in different sizes, some are not much bigger then an ankle brace. It depends how bad your injury is

    Hopefully its just a sprain and not where you'll be on a forced medical LOA.I've seen those boots and they still didn't look none too comfortable.Thinken it may not work for driving but what do I know.

    You're going to need to tell someone about this at work, preferably your safety department and see what they say. If you try and hide this injury, it could haunt you long after your foot has healed. Meanwhile go see your doc and see what the news is. Good luck.

    I would have to imagine that the doc would put you on medical leave
    Doc would not risk clearing you and if you have an accident it coming back and biting them in the rear
    Just guessing, dont know for sure

    yeah, everybody at work knows. I try to stay off of it a little bit rested, yada yada yada but when push comes to shove I had things to do this weekend. So maybe the damage is done. Wish me luck
