Should I Be Worried About The Skin Peeling And Twitching With Broken Metatarsal?

Hi, I have a broken fifth metatarsal, about two weeks into it now. This morning I noticed massive peeling on my foot after I got out the shower. Is this normal? Also sometimes ill wake up in the middle of the night with my foot twitching uncontrollably for like 5 seconds??? Is that normal?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is orthopedic injury and it was a fracture then you might be having swelling and after reducing the swelling such peeling of skin is just likely and this is nothing to worry even the twitching sensation is also nothing to worry this would come around soon, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
