Fully broke my 5th metatarsal about a week ago. Has been bearable up until now. Toes feel like theyre in constant spasm. And site of fracture is throbbing painfully. Feels sorta hot/cold numb tingly. Is this normal ?? I m really worried. First time ive broken a bone. Can t even sleep with the pain. Please help when you can :)
Broken metatarsal has to be treated with immobilization and controlled weight-bearing. Tingling and numbness is not normal, it is suggestive of much swelling. Throbbing pain is normal due to fracture. Kindly consult local orthopedic for proper treatment. Thanks
