Suggest Treatment For Fifth Metatarsal Fracture On Right Foot
I broke my foot almost 4 weeks ago. It is the fifth metatarsal on my right foot. The break is diagonal and I chipped a good size piece off so I can t put weight on it. I have this burning where it is broke that won t go away. It burns the same if is swollen or not. I am in a cast so ice doesn t help. Any ideas or is this normal?Should I call the doctor tomorrow?
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows: 1. Burning pain is not good. 2. It could be neural pressure or arterial ischemia. 3. Better meet your doctor once. Hope its nothing, better to have a look. Hope it helps. Any further queries, here to help again.
