broken bone in foot
Posted , 4 users are following.
Broken 5th metatarsal. X rayed after three days. Pretty bad break. I was given a boot , no crutches. Returned to doctor after 4 weeks, he squeezed the foot and I had no pain in the area.No further x-ray. But ankle was a bit swollen, he said it was probably the boot so try to wean myself from wearing it this week ( week 5). I go back to see him in 4 weeks although he said if I feel everything is good I can cancel the appointment, I was a bit shocked at that. No mention of physio etc. I have walked indoors without it for a day and my ankle is so swollen. I am concerned the ankle has a small break.On leaving he said Going mad but realise it could be a lot worse. Anyone else have ankle problems, feel like going back to A&E.Any help would be good.

This form of injury - at times - combines a break in the fifth metatarsal with an ankle injury (which might be to bone or soft tissue)

So yes I'm one of those that did both, so thankful that the consultant picked up on it.
