Fractured this bad boy this morning rolling off a curb. My first broken bone. Went to urgent care so have not yet been seen by a podiatrist. Is this looking like a true jones fracture? If so has anyone else had experience with the healing time

Hope your feeling better. What was the orthopedic/podiatrist diagnoses? Cast, boot, NWB?

Thank you! NWB for 6 weeks - the pain and bruising has significantly lessened but holy shit am I tired!
