In early July this past summer I managed to break my fourth metatarsal. I went to the ER and they gave me a removable cast and crutches and said to be non weight bearing at least until I flew home (I was out of town for a few weeks at that time). But honestly, I didn't use the crutches or the cast much while I was still out of town. When I got home and saw a doctor, he said to continue to wear the removable cast for 8 weeks, although I was walking without it well before that. Now it's six months later and I'm still occasionally experiencing some dull pain and soreness. Is this because I followed the medical advice so loosely, or will it just require more time to subside? The X ray showed the bones healed correctly, but I wonder if there wasn't some other damage? Maybe with the tendons or ligaments?
Thanks so much
