Re: 5th Metatarsal Break advice!

Sorry to hear of your predicament. i also just broke my fifth metatarsal. I went to see an orthopedist and he rapped my ankle in an ace bandage and put me on crutches. I also have pain when I walk, but was advised to apply pressure because it will heal faster. The dr said to take a scale, but your bad foot on it and gradually increase the amount of weight on the scale. The less you use the crutches, the better. Also take motrin to help with the swelling. Hpe that helps!
