A member asked:
Can i still walk my dog with a boot (for stress fracture of foot)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Foot fx: This depends on the location of the fracture. As long as it is not a fifth metatarsal jones fracture most likely you can bear weight in a protective boot or shoe. Talk with your doctor to be sure.
