The end of May I broke my 5th metatarsal in my left foot. Was in a cast for 2 months and boot for another 6 weeks. I just reinjured it as I am out of the boot, but was getting in my new car and it has a heavy door, come to find out, it closed on my left foot. I now have pain again...throbbing and hurts to put pressure on it. Numbness off and on. I don’t want to rush right in if it is just bruised...any thoughts on whether I should revisit Urgent Care for an X-ray??

    Yes i think you should revisit for X-ray. And you should avoid any intense activities at the moment.

    Uuuggg yuk, Michelle 46930,feel your pain, if the pain, or swelling continue, might be something further injured, I know you don't want to go back, being in cast so long, but if you can't walk and suffering, got to do what you must do, I'm going to give you a triple dose of internet, power love energy wave, to warm and help your foot OK 👌 ttfn
