2nd metatarsal fracture
I injured my leg 17 days back. When I got x ray done of my foot after 3 days of injury I was told i have suffered a 2nd MT fracture. it has been more than 2 weeks of injury. It doesn't pain while walking for 15 or so minutes. But there still is little swelling. Is it normal? How many more days will it take to heal completely?
