Re: 5th Metatarsal Avulsion Fracture Experience [sentania]
In Reply To:
have you had any x-rays done since?

The pain/symptoms you describe are pretty much what I deal with right now...could you still have a bit of a fracture?


I'm a bit apprehensive about the whole surgery things - primarily because of the unknowns. I know it's very likely to fix it with minimal issues, but there's still a risk.

Right now the pain is pretty minor, and I can deal with it no questions - it's just that it's freakin' broken!



Sorry, didn't get notification of your reply for some reason.

I have not had x-rays done since I got the boot off. I don't think it is still fractured because I look a very long time off so there is no real reason it should not be healed by now (17 mos since break). There really is no pain. The only problem I have is some soreness if I run with that shoe laced tight. The right turn thing I described is bizarre... it doesn't hurt it just doesn't feel normal. Hard to explain.

Surgery is not something I have considered because my issue seems too minor to take the time off; spend the money; take the risk of worsening the problem.
