@velns saidYes, agree completely. Add to that, that bone is one of the most amazing substances in the universe. Unlike stone, when bone is fractured and then subjected to repeated (low-level) stress, it grows back stronger. It adapts to the stress. Stone never does. So, get walking! All of you, even those who haven't broken a metatarsal.
Feet can be a complicated body part which we all tend to take for granted. Lots of moving parts in there and lots of pressure.

@very-rusty saidIt can be more of a nuisance than breaking a finger, because if you have to hobble around on crutches, both your hands are busy with the crutches, whereas if you break a finger, you've still got nine usable digits.

@moonbus saidYes, I know him and I don't see eye to eye on pretty much anything, but I feel sorry for the guy. A bone in the foot is a bad place. I think sometimes they make you wear a special shoe, and of course if you hurt something you're bound to hit it on something.

I had a choice I'd got with the broken finger. I know it can with some be a hard injury to heal, I knew a fellow was a year and still experiencing some pain in the foot. We do take them for granted.

-Removed-I dropped a roll of lino on my left foot broke or fractured all the bones in my foot, I was working in british steel , their doc said if I had gone to the general they would have put a pot on it for 7 weeks, he strapped my foot up and I was back to work in 2 weeks( still strapped up)painfull but because I was self employed I needed to be back on the job( money) But us northerners are not like u softy walter southerners.
@great-big-stees saidthat was my mistake stees saftey boots woud have taken the brunt of the force....one of my toes is still painfull 15 years or so later.
I suggest that, once your foot has healed, you look into buying “safety shoes” that have a marker that is “a dark grey rectangle with the letter M (in white)” on it. 🤔👍

@badradger saidThe shoes I suggested, apparently, are specific to the thread’s injuries.👍
