Displaced fracture/metatarsal bone
Ok, I injured my foot early Saturday morning. Went to hospital Saturday evening and they said I have a displaced fracture of the fourth and fifth metatarsal bone. Hospital gave me a aircast boot to wear. Prescribed naproxen. I've been resting it non stop and taking the naproxen and Tylenol for pain. It's very painful and the meds are not helping at all. Not really sleeping because of the pain. It's very bothersome and I can't get past it. The pain is in most of my foot and ankle now and going up my ankle into my calf. I see the orthopedic surgeon Wednesday. Is any of this normal? Should the pain have spread? And if so that much? .
