Hi my name is Andrea, last Wednesday I was standing on my desk so I could paint a quote on my wall and went for my chair and missed. Fell off and hit the side of my right foot on the metal part. I went to the doctor and he said I hurt my 5th metatarsal and I went back today because it still hurts and the doctor said I badly bruised it. Im just worried I will need surgery help!!!!
Hi, Bruising is not a criterion of deciding requirement of surgery, surgery depends upon displacement of fracture fragments, to guide you properly about need of surgery I have to see X-ray. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
