A member asked:
I currently have a jones fracture in my left foot. my foot aches right under my ankle and the pain is bad. is it possible to have another break?

It's possible: Have another xray taken. Or the pain could just be from bruised bone, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve inflammation. Take some anti-inflammatory-ibuprofen(if you have no allergy) and go see your dr. Take care!

Yes: Yes, it is entirely possible, but it seems more likely that the pain you are having underneath your ankle is coming from the jones fracture itself, which is a fracture of the proximal fifth metatarsal. Thank you for your question. Usually a good exam and xray can determine the cause.

Jones fracture: It is possible that ligament injury also occurred when the fracture did. Further evaluation is indicated - see you podiatrist for assistance. Good luck.
