X-Ray has revealed a healing stress fracture.
Following six weeks of pain in my foot (no trauma), an X-Ray has revealed a 'healing stress fracture to the third meta tarsal'. My GP run hospital fracture clinic has put me in a full below knee plaster cast for six weeks.
Is this an excessive treatment considering the fracture is healing and is situated less than an inch from the base of my toe so hardly in the cast?
