I wish I had put a pin in sooner. waited 4 weeks to see if it would heal but, now I understand insurance wants you to wait. Since I am a rider and walker like you, my ortho foot and ankle specialist suggested going ahead with surgery so it would not recur. Seems Jones fractures do. Surgery was so easy, took 45 minutes, they put a 30 hour block in so I literally had no pain after the block wore off. I do have a foot and ankle orthopedic doctor. they seem to put a length wise pin in where podiatrist put in a cross wise one that sometimes works it's way out. Since my husband is a retired doc, we seem to go the MD route but, I know many who love podiatrists. My legs have never been this atrophyed. Now has been 6 weeks and will be another 2 non weight bearing. I think we are same age as I remember. Let me know how you are as well. You gave me lots of hope in your posts before hand. Thanks.
