Broken foot but no pain
I fractured my 1st matatarsal bone 7 days ago when I fell down the stairs. The Xray showed a little bit of the bone that had chipped away but was still attached. I was given crutches but I can walk on the foot 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?
