5th metatarsal rehab

I’ve seen several messages posted on thes break, however, I haven’t seen many replies. I was told NO WEIGHT on my foot for 6 weeks.
I had it casted, tried a boot and went back to a hard cast for stability.
I have put no weight on it. On 9/11 it comes off. Do you know what I should expect?
Will I be able to walk without crutches?
Is walking or weightbearing a good thing? Also I’d like to be able to drive my stick shift by then. Finally, do I need PT?

    I am four weeks into foot immobilization for a 5th metatarsal break. What did you doctor tell you were the next steps after week six?
