Healing time for tiny foot bone fracture???
I hurt my right foot playing soccer on the 29th of june when I kicked the ball. I woke up the next morning and since I work in the hospital went to the emergency department with a pain in my right foot.
The Doctor examined my foot and had a couple of x-rays done on the right foot and after studying it he said there was just a very tiny fracture in one of the bones in my foot but didn't say which bone.
They put me in a cast for 3 days until i returned to the fracture clinic on Wednesday the 2nd of July where i seen an orthopedic surgeon. He examined my x-rays and said the fracture was only tiny and he removed the cast and put me in a walking boot which he said i only needed for 2 weeks and then to leave it off for good and walk on my foot.
I asked him was it ok to walk properly on it again after 2 weeks and he said yes. Ive been reading stuff on the internet about foot fractures and it normally says it takes 6 weeks to heal but the surgeon said 2 weeks in the boot should be enough for me.
Can a very tiny fracture take only 2 weeks to heal????
