Hi, broke base of 5th metatarsal almost 5 weeks ago. I had a cast on for 4 weeks and this was taken off last?

We Answered:

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but two weeks is a bit optomistic for the swelling to go down. Remember when you break a bone you also damage the muscles, ligaments etc. fairly severly as well. The cast inhibits their healing. But the swelling will go down and the pain will go away. It takes usually a month to six weeks before it's completely healed. If you walk on it as much as possilbe and bear the pain, it will heal faster. Think of this way, when you walk on a bruised foot you make it a little more bruised and it swells up. But until the cast comes off the bruised muscle tissue can't begin the healing process. The other answers advise seeing a Doctor, it isn't a bad idea just to be on the safe side but the likelihood of him or her having a cure for a bruise and swelling is zero, he will probably tell you the best way is to let nature take it's course, but the Doctor can do is give you pain killers.

Hamstring Injury Recovery?

We Answered:

heat will help, then stretch it, not sure about the exercising but if you do I would not do very much, then ice it, this process should heal it quickly, if not the muscle could be torn and that takes 6 weeks or more to heal
