How long does it take for fractures on top of foot to heal?

I have 2 small fractures on the dorsal metatarsal of my left foot. How much time will it take for them to heal on the average. I'm 60 years old, female and in better than average physical condition.

Ouch!
They say it normally takes about 6 weeks for most things to heal. The metatarsals form part of the arch of the foot and are weight bearing.

Because they have to bear so much weight, it would probably be a good idea to follow up with physiotherapy to strengthen this area after the rest of waiting the 6 weeks. Are you using crutches now? You might want to go to a cane for a bit till the foot is strengthened, and a cushion orthotic (arch support) for awhile also.

This answer is not meant to constitute medical advise, so check with your doctor for follow up.

if u take care of it and don't agrevate it then a few weeks. Take calcium also.

With proper rest, it should take 4-6 weeks to heal completely.

I just had a friend go through something similiar and she's around her mid to late 50's. She didn't even know it was fractured (just thought it was sprained) so she was even walking around (limping, rather) on it. It's been about 6 weeks and she's doing fine now.

elevate feet will make it heal faster like on the sofa arm
try magnets on the foot to heal faster.
Good luck, its all up to u, and all in your mind.

it took me a month.. but if you wear a cast it may be shorter

My roomate just fractured hers and the doc said about 2-3 and a half weeks and to keep preasure off of it that will help it to heal faster

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to long.about 23-41 weeks
or 5 months and 3 weeks to 10 months and 1 week. unless you have surgery. but considering your above average i would say about 15-20 weeks depending if you have medicine for it with out anti-biotics or a cream i would say 19-25 weeks great condithion.
good luck with that.

for complete recovery,it will take 3-4 months but u will have to carry out physiotherapy session after wards.

the herb comfrey, which means bone healing, in latin, helps to heal bone fractures, eat right, six weeks,till you should move around without much care not to rehurt it,
