I am pretty sure I have fractured a few metatarsals along with other associated damage, bruising plus possibly a broken ankle.
If he had paid me when asked it wouldn't have been necessary!

Yes, in a car crash. Nothing was done. I don't think they do much to it unless you are Wayne Rooney or it is totally smashed.
Your laces may have been too tight.

Normally I leave it 2 weeks before going to the doctor but one time I did that I was told off by a GP as it was a suspected broken ankle.
Next time cut out the middle man - by on the day or next day going straight to A&E saying you heard a crack then they will x-ray it for you. Now as it's days later you have to go to the GP first.

I always thought that metatarsals meant "we got together at MFs house"

I think I have. I ran a marathon at the weekend and my 2nd/ 3rd metatarsals are pretty sore.
I'm wondering if it's something I need to go to the docs for or whether it's the kind of injury, like suspected cracked ribs and broken toes, that regardless of whether they're actually broken or just severely bruised, the treatment is the same.Tags: None
