My foot had been aching after runs for a day or two for the last 6? weeks but nothing too bad. I noticed it also hurt after doing maybe 2 miles of walking one day, so went to my PT and found out I have a stress fracture in my 2nd metatarsal. Been wearing a boot to immobilize it for the past week but was told it takes 4-6 weeks to heal.
Has anyone hear experienced a broken metatarsal before? How long did it take to heal? I am allowed to bike and have noticed that w/ stiff soled cycling shoes, I have NO pain at all walking. I was also wondering if I could swap wear some old cycling shoes (w/o cleats) instead of the boot.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
