Did you break the base of your metatarsal? Mines a base break. So the tendons pulled the bone away, and I guess that can mean for a longer healing. I fell and twisted my foot stepping off the pier at the lake. How'd you break yours?
I got back on Sept 16th for another X-ray. Meanwhile I have to go to physio every week for a 5th metacarpal (hand) break that happened in taekwondo at the end of May, and rebroke in my pier accident. It's been a hell of a summer.
Hope your X-rays on the 10th show good progress.

I broke mine mid June, and walked on it for 6 weeks before proper treatment! I'm in an air cast, too! Mine burns all the time! I was told it's the nerves around it....but it is maddening! Healing vibes headed your way!

Hi team. Came here to seek other people's experiences with weight bearing and pain. I did my break on 23/07 and have been told I can weight bear as pain allows, which I have been.
I don't have pain as I'm weight bearing but by the end of the day and during the evening I get horrific pain - aches, hot shooting pains down the side if my foot ans back into my heel.
I'm not sure if this is growing/healing pain or doing damage pain?
