Fractured left foot
I have attached the xray of my left foot. I went to awent nearby hospital for treatment last week. This happened on 10th February while I was playing badminton.. and I received treatment on 12th Feb. Doctor said there was a crack and I need to rest for 3 weeks..My leg is in plaster for last 1 week but the pain is not lessening. I wanted to know what can be done and how much time will it take to heal? I want to get an appropriate treatment. I walk with the help of walker but there are times when I have to put weight on my left feet. What should I do?

You have a Jone's fracture.
It needs immobilisation for 6 weeks minimum.
Go for a synthetic walking cast for 6 weeks.
Initial 2 weeks do not walk and keep limb elevated.
This would reduce swelling and inflammation then rest 4 weeks you can walk with walker.
