Metatarsal Fracture

• I fractured my 5th metatarsal also known as the march fracture. It is a type of stress fracture.
• The name refers to military recruits who developed stress fractures after long marches.
• The doctor said that I may not heal on my own, and may need a screw in my foot.
• I have to see a Orthopedic Doctor on Friday. I scheduled to see the same doctor that's been seeing Grandma Spiehs (Mom to me).
