broken metartarsal

(2 discussions)

I broke my small metartarsal ie the one leading to the little toe, it is broken in three places and out of alignment but it was put in a cast anyway at the Univeristy college London. uk.
I went back yeaterday 5 week plus after the injury and now they have given me a David Beckham type boot to wear called aircast.
I was dismayed when I saw how little the bone seemed to have mended there was just a tiny amount of deposits of calcuim. the consultant did not spend much time with me and I am worried.
He said a further month in this boot.
I can put weight on it but also have crutches.
My question is, is it normal to hurt after so long and for the fracture to be healing so slowly.
I am 52 years old.Many thanks Manya Mcclew

hard knot of outer part of foot

(3 discussions)

both of my twin 12 yrold daughters have knots or nodules on the outer sides of their foot, the knot feels like bone, they say it isn’t painful, just annoying, what could this be? my oldest daughter doesn’t have this and she is 21 and no one else in the extended family has this problem.
Like I said they are both twelve and wear 7 1/2 and 8 1/2 size shoes, Last August they both were in 4-5’s and at the end of this school year they were the 7-8’s.
They have had these “knots” for the past 2 or 3 years.
