Fracutered 5h metatarsel 9 mths ago……still SWOLLEN

Hii fractured my 5th metatarsel in my left foot 9 mths ago. the Doc in the ER said it would require surgery. however, the orthopedic surgeon said it would not and therefore put my foot in a removable cast for 2 mths. he said I could start walking immediately! I COULDNT THOUGH! the pain was severe and so was the swelling.9 mths later…now….. I still have a bump at the broken spot…..its still swells along with my ankle. the orthopedic surgeon says “ya there is a bump…nothing I can really do though”what do I do? PLEASE HELP!

    I recommend you see a podiatrist. I would get x-rays and go from there.
