I was diagnosed (MRI) with a nondisplaced coronally oriented fracture at the base of the second metatarsus. I have had pain and swelling on that foot since 3 years I twisted the foof but never went to doctor. I only had pain if I was standing for too long or wearing high heels. Last week when I got the report the ortho ordered 4 weeks with crutches. I am having a hard time with them so I want to know if I could use anything else, like an ace band?
Hi there!
It would be atleast 4-8 weeks before the fracture heals and another few weeks of physiotherapy before you can continue with your regular activities.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
