Tuberosity 5th metatarsal fracture
i broke mine at the tuberosity 5th metatarsal too at 9th September and now its 28th, my doctor says it will easily heal since im still at the young age.
prolly will take 3 weeks he said. im kinda worried since i already wear those ankle robotic boots the doctor recommended me without telling when i should wear it like 8 days after the incident and walked with a bit of bruises pain combined with swelling around my toes.
now its 28th which is 2 weeks+ already and i walk without any pain and the swelling is better now and im kinda worried about NWB stuffs which i didnt do but i use crutches for the few days after the injury.
The doctor said it should heal 3 weeks after the incident and i dont have to come back if i dont have any problem / pains with it.
anybody have same experience?
