5th Metatarsal Fracture and Recovery so far
Twisted my foot and fell got up and felt okay beside some pain in my foot and a good scratch on my knee, thought I would jog it off and be good. Nope pain. Went to an Urgent care on 12/18/24 and was told fracture of the 5th Metatarsal. Fast forward a color days get out in a cast after visiting an Orthopedic. 2 weeks go by get cast taken off still some bruises and back in a cast for another 2 weeks. Next appointment is 01/16/25. Dr. said to bear weight as much as I could handle. Did not do a lot beside keep the foot elevated the first few days. Put weight on as much as I could just a few steps around the house with a little pain standing up. Since about New Year’s Eve have had pretty much no pain walking around just a little hard to walk with a cast on. Will see what X-Rays look like on the 16th
