broken foot

[daisychains40]

HI I broke my 2nd metatarsal out of the blue. Previous breaks and inflamation on this foot. Blood tests have come back normal. I am in to week 6 now ands was hoping to get back to work but the physio has signed me off for a further 4 weeks and did not look confident about me returning to work or weight bearing after 10 weeks. I am desperate to get back to work and a normal life - any advise from anyone that has been in a similar position

I broke my 5th metatarsal a few years ago and it was very frustrating! The bone healed quickly thank goodness but it was the not driving that frustrated me. I stayed as mobile as I could and did chair cardio and weights daily to stay fit.

Just checked diary...was driving within 6 weeks.

6 weeks was my expectation. I have a very pronounced bunion on the left foot - another developing on the broken foot and arthritis ( I am 52 feeling 102!) I am convinced the bunions have caused the fracture. The other two fractures was due to falls / trauma. I was doing a lot of walking prior to this fracture but not enough I would have thought to have broken the bone.
