Bone Contusion

My daughter has a bone contusion of her right foot’s navicular bone (MRI results).
Onset of symptoms were about 4 weeks ago – but not from a direct impact injury, she is a gymnast.
What type of recover time can we expect.
What is good treatment plan?
Have been advised to discontinue any weight bearing excerise (walking ok)for one week.

    I can not give you an exact answer as I have not examined her. Even if I did, I would suggest rest as you have been advised and the reevaluate periodically. Nothings perpetuates an injury so much as not allowing something to heal and over using it before it is capable. She may need to be taped for extra support in the future.
