hey all have broken the 5th metatarsal bone in my foot. was just feeling really positive.. have 6 weeks non weight bearing and foot is in a pot..am on my 6th day and was doing well but I've bloody just fallen over and bent my little toe back. there was a bit of a gap between the bone as it was .. can I have any advice on whether I may have just completely ruined work done so far or even made it worse?! thank you

    I agree with devsmom. See your surgeon for new X-ray just to be on the safe side .

    There a few times I’ve been in same place. 

    Take care and healing blessings sent your way. 😇
