I once fell at one of my son's little league practices in April 12th, 2008. Received the cast by April 14th after I hoped it was just sprained. Ortho diagnosed it as a fracture of the 5th metatarsal or a Jones break. Had the cast removed June 9th, then went into a walking boot for 6 weeks while still non weightbearing. Once the walking boot duration, I kept using a boot. https://foot-health-forum.com/index.php?threads/jones-fracture.682/
