Broken Foot: Symptoms & Care Instructions

Recovery

The location and extent of the fracture will determine how long it takes you to heal. The majority of foot fractures heal in 6 to 8 weeks. Consult your doctor about when you can return to your regular activities as healing times vary.

After breaking their foot, most people recover completely and are able to walk once more. Complications could arise, though. For instance, pain and edema [6] are typical during the healing process. It could be hard for you to locate shoes that fit well. Your physician will arrange for more X-rays to monitor the healing process.
