Broken fifth metatarsal reassurance please!
Hi. I’ve not posted before so apologies if any of this is wrong. I broke my fifth metatarsal eight weeks ago. Saw the fracture clinic at five weeks and they said there was no sign of healing. They have no availability to see me for another three and a half weeks so I’m left with no clue if it’s healing and terrified I’ll have to have surgery! Has anyone else had no healing at five weeks and then gone on to heal and be ok? I’m in the UK.
