Could you develop more about the step 6 ? From my understanding, inflammation in acute stage is our friend. It's the body doing it's healing job bring blood flow/ nutriments. Yes inflammation is painful, but isn't key for recovery? Same thing would apply with the recommandation to not take any NSAIDs. Thanks for your feedback :)

Suffered a traumatic 5th metatarsal mid-shaft fracture on 8/22 (nearly broke off but fortunately didn’t). Immediately saw a podiatrist who managed me thru the injury including x-rays over (now) 12+ wks. I’ve been able to ease back into treadmill running over the last 2 wks (weeks 10-12 of my recovery), and can feel my tolerance level getting stronger by the day! Today I’m going on my first planned outdoor run since the injury. Still feeling a bit tender at times but I appreciate the advice of accelerating the healing by not allowing your foot to become idle while in the recovery stages. “Listening” to your body is absolutely crucial.
Hey! Thank you very much for this video. Well descriptive and helpful. I'd appreciate it if you could share your thoughts or experiences with the post traumatic recovery process. I've fractured my 5th matatarsal 2 years ago, my recovery was a fixed cast for 6 weeks, followed by 4 weeks physiotherapist. The fractured bone was healed and check up followed after 6 months 1 year, all seemed ok and pediatrician said all is well. However, I suffer from constant daily discomfort in the area ever since full recovery. This discomfort begins when I stand for a while on my feet, or when I walk for a while, or if I keep my shoes on an entire day at work. Could you please share your thoughts on how did you deal with post traumatic pain? Thank you very much. Ps. the doctor's opinion was to pursue more physiotherapy. I believe that would be useless.
I am loving this video because I just found out I have a 1st metatarsal Greenstick fracture, I did NOT think it was broken. I am at a loss of how to proceed- it feels OK, my Dr (ok, she's a Naturopath) said it wasn't broken, but my Vet x rayed and the Greenstick is obvious. How long do I need to wear a boot and when can I ride the horses again? How much immobility do I need vs how much comfortable movement is OK? Hmmmm.....
Glad you enjoyed the video! Unfortunately I can't give medical advice without knowing your history, the details of the injury, etc, but we could do all of that during a web cam visit. However, you should be able easily make those decisions on your tone with the help of the Metatarsal Stress Fracture Course.

Great video! It would be great if you gave examples of what to do for step 5 and step 6 about what to do to put all effort towards healing and getting rid of the degradation from the inflammatory fluid
I have a broken first metatarsal, now on the 3rd week after surgery, the surgeon inserted k-nails, how long does it usually take to walk after k nail removal?
I run in the best shoes for me, the types pf rusn I do and my particular foot type. The best running shoes are the ones that are best for you. Make sure you get running shoes intended to work well with your unique foot type and your running style. Most local specialty running shoes styles can watch you run and suggest which of the newest models will work best for you.
Its been 5 months since I had this fracture. The bone has stuck back looks like but I still have pain below the matatersal bone, it just does not go. Any idea?
Hello Loveleen, Sorry you having trouble. 5 months ia a LONGGGG TIME! Unfortunately I can't really comment with knowing more detail. You may find more info in other videos, but the faster way to a full explanation would be to schedule a call to figure out the true cause, and what to do.www.docontherun.com/talk-to-the-expert/ You might also check out the Metatarsal Stress Fracture Course
This was what I wanted to hear... I am just wondering whether it is what I need to hear? I guess I certainly should not run the first weeks into recovery, right? And slowly try and see what feels good? (Though sure as a runner I know how to push through pain...) Clarification welcome!
I have no idea based on that amount of information. It all depends upon your specific injury, treatment timeline, response to treatments thus far, your nutrition, sleep patterns and the actions you are taking to maintain your running fitness while you heal.
I am on week 6. Was not convinced it was a fracture but considering it is still swollen maybe it is. Not a lot of pain...but the swelling remains. Now what?
I'm on week 4, fractured 3rd and 4th metatarsal and pain is getting worse! The fracture part ain't even the painful part it's on palm of foot or when bend foot it's weird!
Hello I m martial artist . I have metatarsal fracture in 2,3,4 and on 5 it's pain too .... On 6 Dec I met an accident . I m excercising regularly but I want to know it's take how much time to improve .
When you can walk after broken metatarsal surgery depends upon 1) the type of fractures 2) the type of surgery performed 3) the treatment following the surgery, before you start walking. When did your surgeon say you should be able to walk?
@@bahubalisinghsangam According to published research the time ranges from 4 weeks to 52 week. The specific rate of healing can vary greatly depending upon 1) the type of fractures 2) the type of surgery performed 3) the treatment following the surgery, before you start walking. I would have to assume your surgeon considered those three variables when predicting how long it would be before you heal after your surgery. When did your surgeon say you should be able to walk?

Are able to run
Your VET x-rayed you?? Really??

Hello Eric, Thanks for watching! Glad you found the strategy helpful. The specific tactics within that strategy depend upon the given condition.
I have a broken first metatarsal, now on the 3rd week after surgery, the surgeon inserted k-nails, how long does it usually take to walk after k nail removal?
That depends. What did your surgeon tell you in terms of how long it would take?
@@DocOnTheRun he said 4-5 weeks after surgery
Now I can put partial body weight without my foot paining...
What shoes should I wear when I start running on it again
I run in the best shoes for me, the types pf rusn I do and my particular foot type. The best running shoes are the ones that are best for you.

I'm the same. I'm a marathon runner and mine has been 6 months on and it still doesn't feel 100%, still get it sore at times as well
So...I'm really confused. Is this the video itself...or an ad for a video that actually tells me WHA TO DO.
Same😅
Best wishes for u ❤️ from india
Thanks!
I was told I have a non displaced stress fracture for 4th metatarsal. still pain when bending already did mri not sure what to do next
how are you doing nowadays?
This was what I wanted to hear... I am just wondering whether it is what I need to hear? I guess I certainly should not run the first weeks into recovery, right? And slowly try and see what feels good? (Though sure as a runner I know how to push through pain...) Clarification welcome!
Im so confused. I dont have a stress fracture it was an acute injury. I have a half marathon early Dec. Is there hope for me?!

When I can walk after metatarsal fracture surgery, my 2nd 3rd &4th Metarasal was Fractured
When you can walk after broken metatarsal surgery depends upon 1) the type of fractures 2) the type of surgery performed 3) the treatment following the surgery, before you start walking. When did your surgeon say you should be able to walk?
@@DocOnTheRun Generally it takes How many weeks to heal?
