5th met stress fracture.18 weeks in a air cast. now 3 yr later occasional pain again. crackling feeling. not all the time. how likely of re-fracture?

Easy to do...: Eighteen weeks in a air cast for a 5th met stress fracture is certainly telling of just how easily re-fracturing the 5th metatarsal is. You might want to go slow on it and see if the symptoms reduce. If not, a visit to your soot specialist is the ticket.
