Fractured 5th metatarsal
7 weeks ago I fractured my 5th metatarsal here in Thailand where I am teaching English. A few days ago at the 6 week mark the doctor removed my cast and said it's 70% healed and that I can walk Now. I am limping and it hurts a little bit and it never hurt in the cast, is this normal?

⢠Sports Taping.
⢠Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
