Suggest Treatment For Foot Pain Caused After A Hairline Fracture

I had a hair line fracture to the top of my foot five months ago and since then it continues to hurt but the pain is on the outside of my foot. When I run it hurt a lot afterwards. I don t understand why it still hurts and sometimes has sharp pain. When should I consult a doctor?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
The pricking pain on the top of your foot (dorsum) following injury after 5 months can be due to simple subtle reasons.It would have been better to know your fracture involved skin and subcutaneous tissue.We need to rule out any foreign bodies struck inside the wound. Even closed hair line fracture can give persistant pricking pain it is better to take an x-ray and of course physiotherapy would help to relieve the pain .

Thanks hope it is useful
