Jones fracture in right foot
This is my foot x ray after 2 weeks of having a Jones fracture in my right foot. I was in a POP cast for 2 weeks, after which it has been removed and my doctor says it isn't any serious. Also has asked me to wear sneakers and start walking. Whereas I have heard that a non displaced Jones fracture requires almost 4 weeks to form soft callus and by 6 weeks hard mass. Can you look at the x ray and tell me how does my fracture look at this point? Am I ready for weight bearing or walking of any kind? Or does my foot need to be in a cast?

Weight bearing is not an issue, but be cautious about not twisting your ankle again, which might cause further complications.
