Metatarsal frature and ankle ligament st

2018-03-05 15:31:57
Hi.. I have 3rd metatarsal fracture in left foot and ligament stretch in right ankle. Left foot has been kept with synthetic plaster and in right foot only crep is there. Doctor has advised to keep it for 6 weeks. Then again I have to do xray and plaster and crep will be cut. It's 5 weeks now but I feel pain sometimes for a few seconds. Is that normal? Can pain happen after 6 weeks also ? These are for both feet

Ankle sprain is to be treated the same way as the fracture in your left foot. Get a cast done for the right foot as well.
Health Tips
Pain indicate inadequate immobilisarion and possible increased swelling.

Pain can occur even after removal of plaster and crepe bandage and it is absolutely normal.
