Yes, : Yes, it would be reasonable to get a second opinion and ask why you are still having problems. If possible, see a physical therapist who could give you recommendations as well. Be sure to go to your appointments with a list of all of your questions so that you can be sure to get all of them answered.

Yes to 2nd opinion: Yes, you should get a second opinion. The next logical step would be to get a mri. And to place your foot in a cam walker.

Fracture: It is time for a second opinion. See your podiatrist for the foot and hand specialist for the thumb. Best of luck.
