Broken foot, no pain.

2018-05-02 09:18:35
I fractured my 1st matatarsal bone last week. The Xray showed a bit of the bone that had chipped away but was still attached. I don't have access to the X-rays. I was given crutches but I can walk well with no pain. I was not put in a cast or a boot. I was advised to wear a tight trainer to support it. The foot is still bruised and slightly swollen but not painful. Can I stop using the crutches if it is not painful? Can I return to work? Will walking on the foot aid recovery or not?

Foot should be immobilised with a slab or boot. Healing takes 4 weeks. You may do more damage than good if you continue unsupported walking or do work.
