3 months!

Over three months ago I fractured the 5th metatarsal. It's been a long and painful recovery. I had it x-rayed, and it is now 50% healed - aparently a difficult area to heal due to a) poor blood supply, and b) a nearby ligament attachment which causes stress on that area.

The doctor offered to put my foot in plaster to help with the pain I still feel, I could walk with it, but not drive, so I declined. His advice was to avoid running, jumping, going up on tip toes and to moderate walking to get some exercise, but not over do it.

I am going to be seen again in another 3 months, am hoping for a better result next time, and hopefully avoid re-fracturing it whilst it is still vulnerable!
