I had surgery 8 days ago to have an internal screw fixation of a Jones Fracture. My foot is in a splint at the moment. I am supposed to be NWB until my 11 day check-up to see how everything is going. Last night I slipped with my crutches and reflexes had me put my fractured foot down to catch myself. I did not slam it down hard and as soon as I felt a twinge of pain I managed to lift it back up and just fell a bit.
