Second Metatarsal Stress Fracutre?
In January my foot started hurting pretty bad. I be limping and everything. I went to the Doctor and they sent me for an x-ray and it showed nil. So they sent me to Podiatrist. He sent me for an x-ray and nothing showed. He sent me for another x-ray and zilch showed. Well then he sent me for an MRI and it showed a stress fracture on the 2nd metatarsal.
All of this happen from February through April. I forgot to mention though that about 3 weeks after it started hurting so much I notice a red sore appeared on the top of my foot, right above where it be hurting. It scabbed over and the scab fell off in the region of a week later (this is close to beg-mid february) well I can still see where on earth the sore was. Also, the twinge went down by reasonably a bit. I could walk minus limping but it still hurt to move my toes. I told the Podiatrist and he said that was a bit unusual but that it was probably a short time ago a blood clot the burst and came to the top.
Well when the MRI showed a stress fracture he put me contained by an Air Boot and now I enjoy been surrounded by it for 4 weeks. Also, the other day I have another one of those red sores appear. I go final to the doc on tuesday.
Is a stress fracture supposed to take this long to alleviate? Do you think the doctor is doing the right entity?
All this time it has be swollen too. I am starting to get for a moment worried that it is taking too long. Thanks for any advise or relief you can give me.
