I recently went to my DPM for pain on the outside of my R foot that was worsening and he discovered that I had a half healed fracture of the 5th metatarsal and said it was “too late to do anything.” He decided to give me a cortisone injection and told me to rest the foot for a couple of days and use ice massage. I did, but the pain has not resolved and is worse than ever
