How long should i wait after a broken foot before i can run again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 3 months: Usually, it takes about 3 months for complete healing, enough to be able to run on the foot. This varies according to many factors, including location of the fracture, severity of the fracture, age and coexisting medical conditions.
