They say it normally takes about 6 weeks for most things to heal. The metatarsals form part of the arch of the foot and are weight bearing. http://www.podiatrychannel.com/anatomy/ Because they have to bear so much weight, it would probably be a good idea to follow up with physiotherapy to strengthen this area after the rest of waiting the 6 weeks. Are you using crutches now? You might want to go to a cane for a bit till the foot is strengthened, and a cushion orthotic (arch support) for awhile also. This answer is not meant to constitute medical advise, so check with your doctor for follow up.<br><b>References : </b><br> Ouch!

She didn't even know it was fractured (just thought it was sprained) so she was even walking around (limping, rather) on it. It's been about 6 weeks and she's doing fine now.<br><b>References : </b><br> I just had a friend go through something similiar and she's around her mid to late 50's.
