Hi there, I broke the 5th metatarsal in my left foot 6 weeks ago(August 16th,2011). The first week I was in a splint and tensor with crutches, the following week they put my in an air cast and told me I could weight bear on the heal, with crutches. September 13th, they x-rayed my foot and told me they couldn’t see the bone but said it was in a good position, in other words not pulling away from the bone area.
