Re: stress fracture

I too had a stress fracture of my 4th met....I let it go about a week and it just kept getting worse and worse. I got a pair of crutches...stayed off it for 2 days and then wore a cast shoe for the next week then regular tennis shoes. The cast shoe will prevent the forefoot from "flexing" when walking letting the fracture heal. In the meantime NO running, jumping, playing basketball, etc. Just give it time to heal. Good Luck Mya PT
