Question:
Is it normal to still have pain after recovering from a metatarsal stress fracture?
Answers:
Depends...if your pain is in the same area as the fracture then no...if the pain is in another portion of the foot/ankle then it is possible to have pain due to compensation, altered foot/ankle mechanics, and/or altered gait (the way you walk). I would suggest you go back to the doctor and have the doc take a look at you. If it comes up that there is no stress fracture currently then going to a physical therapist would be good to correct any altered biomechanics or gait.
