A member asked:
Yesterday got sent home saying my metatarsals was no longer broken. still feels weak and unable to walk properly?

Not done healing yet: It may no longer be broken, but it far from done healing. Your body will continue to lay down bone in that area for quite a while before if switches gears and begins the remodeling process. Be patient, take otc analgesics as needed and increase your activities to your own tolerance.
