8 days ago I fracture my 5th metatarsal (mid shaft) in my right foot.

I was having pain there 2 weeks before and all of a sudden it broke.

I was in a plaster case for a week with nwb.Today I have moved on to a walking

Boot, and told to start to wb. I have and it really hurts. I'm going to start

Walking more and more each day in it (with crutches) I'm 33

I'm trying to eat really healthy with lots of milk,nuts,natural yogurt, fruit, and protein.

Anything else I can do

Thanks Tim
