I think I fractured my fifth metatarsal while double jumping

Hey bud here is my foot

I saw a girl with feet like that on the beach the other day.

I would like to hear some insight with someone familiar with this injury please. Here is a link to some photos of it on imgur.

I felt a pop doing doubles a bit below my right pinky toe. I stopped and iced it. Hurt to move it. Been RICEing it. It is more swollen today, on day two.

After looking at podiatry websites, I was relieved to realize I don't have a Jones or Aversion fracture. Looking down at the foot, Aversion is more toward the heel about 60 percent of the way down from the little toe. The Jones fracture is about halfway down the foot, maybe between the 40 to 50 percent mark from the little toe. Further up, the neck comes next , which is almost directly under the little toe, and then the heel, which is directly under the little toe. The pain is most intense when I push the neck area. There's zero pain pushing on the Jones/Aversion part of the foot. Either way, I'd rather eat cat**** with a knit needle than go to the doctor. Any insight would be appreciated, my friends.

In the meantime I will brew some kombucha and water kefir , take 5000 d3 daily, and up my calcium intake along with healthy overall eating.

****ing ******.

I can stand on it painlessly, just not in a normal standing stance. My foot is still swollen where it was fractured on the right side, once that goes down I think I'll be good. Hopefully in a week I'll be shuffling around.

I've been using a nice computer chair to wheel around the house, kitchen etc. Made some water kefir and kombucha, too. Water kefir came out great. Kombucha, I bought the scoby off eBay, hoping for the best

How is it feeling now? Any healing?

It's day five and my fourth toe is seemingly out of alignment a bit. I'm not overly concerned, but has anyone with a foot injury ever dealt with a toe out of alignment? I'm wondering if I need a cast, or if it's simply from the swelling.

Why don't you go to a doctor?

Why don't you go to a doctor?

I don't like doctors, I don't have insurance, and the toe is back in alignment. It healed up well on it's own, but am still limping a bit, week 3 so I'm about halfway there.

The Green Mussel powder was a lifesaver.

You don't like doctors? Why?

Did it finally heal up with going to the doctor or did you finally see one?
