Metatarsal treatment

The reason why I decide to start this blog is because mainly I had a fifth metatarsal fracture and let me tell you it wasn’t any pretty. If you are reading this because you have at the moment a fifth metatarsal fracture, llet me tell you: I understand what you are feeling. It is not easy, and the pain doesn’t help.

I think one of the worst things that happens is also the emotional part, when you brake your metatarsal, you also loose confidence and you realize quickly how fragile you are. It sucks because deep inside they tell you that there is nothing that you can do to recover. Well my theory is a bit different to what doctors keep telling you. In my case my doctors was a bit of a witch and told me that simply I just had to wait to recover. If you don’t recover after 3 months we will have to operate.

Are you kidding me?

I was in panic, and everyone told me that with a fifth metatarsal fracture, you can’t really speed time, well in my case I was scuba diving after just 6 weeks after. You may wonder how… well, I did everything I could to recover as fast as possible, even doing very non “normal” procedures. I was simply focus in one thing only: to heal.

Now my fifth metatarsal fracture was very bad, so bad that I was almost ready to be send to the surgeon, but they decided at last moment to give the foot a chance of healing by itself.

Later on in this blog I will write more about how I manage to heal quicker of my nasty fifth metatarsal fracture . Thanks for reading and see you very soon.
