Broken second metatarsal 8 weeks after

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hi everyone, I'm very new to this website but i thought i would ask some question to possibly put my mind at ease or see if i should be doing something different. ill give a little back story

8 weeks ago i was playing football and got into a tackle that broke my second metatarsal on impact, i continued for another 10-15 minuets playing with the injury but it ballooned up so come off. i instantly went to get an x-ray that confirmed the break and was put into a slipper cast for 5 weeks, after 5 weeks the doctor told me i could walk on it as pain allows and have been doing so since. yesterday i went and had another x-ray to determine how everything is going and the Dr said it is going as they expect but when they showed me the x-ray i assumed it would of been healed by now or atleast substantially more than it was, i was wondering if anybody has had this scenario before and what your outlook was or outcome.

thank you so much for reading and i hope i havent wasted anyones time
