5th MT fracture left foot
Attached X-ray taken on the day of injury (13 sep).
Its been 24 days since the injury. I had a temporary plaster for initial 6 days and then cast was applied by my ortho.
I have not applied any weight on my foot since the injury and not even tried to walk. I uae crutches to walk to the bathroom. I keep my leg on pillows to keep it elevated. I work on my laptop from home so sit most of the day.
So far I have ensured to keep good care for healing. I also take calcium and vitamin D prescrived by the doctor.
Please let me know when should I start weight bearing and try to walk a bit.
