A member asked:
I fractured my 2nd metatarsal and i used cast boot for 4 weeks but there is still pain at night mostly and after a shower my foot turns red/blue/thin?

Healing is slow: It is unusual that unless significant trauma you would break the 2dn metatarsal. How is your vitamin D3 level? I think it hurst more at night since you have been on your feet during the day.
