I broke my 5th metatarsal bone 18 days ago. I have been resting with my foot up and using crutches. I have an ortho cast. My concern is that my big toe and the one next to it are numb all the time and sometimes the whole bottom of my foot is numb. I loosen the cast and keep it elevated but it doesn t help. Should I go back to the doctor again? Anything else you recommend? Otherwise it s really not painful. Just the odd stabbing pain around the area of the break. I only take meds for pain/swelling at bedtime.
