Yes- non weight bearing for 9 weeks until Doctor saw healing. It's been 13 weeks - walking in an air cast now- but still doesn't feel right. I should have had surgery

I was non weight bearing for 26 weeks on a wheelie, last four i wore a bone stimulator, which did nothing. Finally, acupuncture spurred on bone growth!!!

Did you ankle stop swelling? I was in a hard boot for 14 weeks after a Jones fracture. Last weeks x-ray still shows incomplete closure as well as beginnings of osteopenia. I have just been released from the boot to running shoes but no jumping, dancing (I teach dance!). I have no pain at fracture site but have pain in ankle and toe joints as I try to get mobility back. Now my ankle and whole foot is swollen. Pretty much stays swollen all day. I don't know if this is normal? I do go back next week for another x-ray and will see dr.

I broke my fifth right metatarsal at work the end of May 2016, continued working in pain. December of 2016 I had finally had enough and said something to HR. I didn't report it at time of occurance because of lack
of coverage, no paper trail no workers comp:(. I did have 2 witnesses, doesn't matter. Surgery was scheduled Mar 30 2017, screw, bone carving and grafting, non-weigh bearing 5-6 weeks. May 5, cast is off minimal weight bearing. June 15, release me back to work, are you kidding me? Foot still broke! I go back to work, swollen up to knee crying. June 21, ultrasound for a bloodclot because of swelling, no clot. Stop in to see Dr. because of concern, I sent you back to early another 4wks in boot no work. Go back in July, your bone looks healed, you can take the boot off. Your body just needs to catch up with the bone. The x-ray I was shown did not have a screw in it. Shouldn't the screw always show up in a x-day? I cannot walk right still! I hurt worse then I did before surgery. I am not and have not taken pain pills since 4 days after surgery. I'm going crazy, over a year dealing with this dang foot!!!

I'm 24 and had a Jones fracture almost exactly 2 years ago. I broke it at work and walked on it 11 days before going in. I was told by the podiatrist that i could wait 3 months to see if it heals, or i could just have the surgery and insert a screw to gauruntee it heals. I chose the surgery. I was in a cast for a month, non weight bearing boot for a month, and weight bearing boot for another 2 weeks before light duty walking for another 2 weeks. I was not completely back to "normal" for about 6 months after the surgery, so don't get discouraged when it still hurts and you still have a limp long after the boot is off. It was a long process and i went back for another surgery a year later to remove the screw due to it being uncomfortable. The surgeon was not able to get the screw out and instead it went into my foot more (the first screw in his 22 yrs he couldn't get out). Was i mad about being restricted and in the boot another 2 months? Of course! It was a blessing in disguise though... the screw went in far enough that it is comfortable, and i rarely feel it. I also have talked to multiple people since that have broken the same thing multiple times and were finally getting a screw put in. So i say go for the surgery, its quicker and believe me when i say you're NOT going to want to do it again! Two years later and i hardly know its there.

I am a 41 year old female and I’m not in good shape by any means. I fructose’s my fifth metatarsal in December and had a Jones fracture surgery a few days after the fall. That was 4 months ago and I am still in a great deal of pain and bone hasn’t grown around one side of the screw. Have been waiting for a month for insurance to approve a bone growth stimulator. Is this the rest of my life. Pain in every step? :(

My quack of a Dr never casted, splint , or booted my jones fx. Told me to where my own shoes and go about my business no limiting anything. I kept telling him I was in pain and all he said was that what goes along with a Jones fx. It has been 6 mos that he said it was healed but I said no. To him it was all over and the pain has taken over my forfoot and ankle sooo bad I can't step on it without it feeling like my foot and ankle is going to crack. I think he didn't like I had a claim because I fall on a piece of cement sticking up in front of a grocery store. I just consider him a quack and pity anyone who goes to him. JANET
