I had a 5th metatarsal fracture 13 weeks ago. I saw my foot doctor for the broken bone. I had the hard aircast pump up boot on for 6 weeks. I then had the aircast ankle brace on for 3 weeks. It was a closed fracture. How long can it take for the limping to fully go away? I am walking much better. I still have a limp when I try to walk fast. It has been 2 1/2 weeks since I came out of the ankle brace. I also have a clicking and stretching-popping-grinding sound in my good knee on the other leg when I go up and downstairs. I have been released from the foot doctor as of 2 1/2 weeks ago when I came out of the brace. My doctor thinks I am doing good. He feels the knee issue will go away in time as well. Could the knee issue, the limping and the sore feet take a while to go all the way away? My foot doctor said it takes time. I am wondering if I need to discuss this with my family doctor. I asked my foot doctor and he said it would go away. Is this all normal to you?
