Thanks @mev123 for your helpful comments. The hard shoe that you are wearing is like the one that I have to wear now. I don't like wearing it as it hurts other parts of my foot. Like you, I only wear it when I go out. I like to wear oofos slides at home and they don't hurt. I am seeing a podiatrist and an orthopedist and it doesn't help. The fracture didn't show up originally on an xray. It took 4 weeks to get the MRI diagnosis when I was finally instructed to wear a boot. I should have worn one right away. Probably, seeing a doctor wouldn't have made any difference in your care.

I think my fracture is in about the same place as yours at the end of the second metatarsal. My second and third toes are inflamed, raised up and painful. The orthopedist told me to push them down as they might get stuck that way, but it hurts horribly to even touch them. I'm afraid that they may already be stuck.

It is upsetting that the medicine that is supposed to help osteoporosis may be what interferes with fracture healing.
