I was diagnosed with a stress fracture in my foot - 5th metatarsal - in late 2024. I healed & all was well, but with lots of arthritis. In February 2026 I had a repeat stress fracture - same foot & place. The doctor was able to get me a bone stimulator. Has anyone had a similar issue & used a bone stimulator? What was your experience with this? Either way I am glad to have this device to speed healing.

@rettus360 Hi , I fractured my fifth metatarsal almost 3 years ago when I went to the Orthopedic surgeon he said I did not need surgery. I had to wear a boot. I went back after six weeks. He took an x-ray. He said my foot was healed to go to Physical, Therapy my first session at therapy they made me stand on my toes and my left foot. I heard a crack. I called the doctors office and said I am in pain. He took an MRI and he said you need operated on. I was a little upset because I don’t think it was healed yet. I went to another specialist and he told me to wear a stimulator 10 hours a day for 30 days so I did I went back in my fracture was healed. I just don’t understand. I have a lot of pain in my left foot and leg and I have tingling and numbness. Not sure if the stimulator had anything to do with this. I am going to a Pain Management doctor now to take more test. Hope all is well with you. Can you let me know what you decided to do thank you, Liz.
