Fracture in Thumb of foot
Last month on 2nd March I met with an accident and the car tyre ran over my right foot. After x ray the doctor said I have a fracture in the thumb of my foot. Today I repeated my x ray, picture attached below. My question is can I do all my household chores like cooking, cleaning and walking now. As of now I walked over my toe only... didn't walk on my flat foot yet.
Please pour your suggestions.
