3. Impaired Balance Overall
Impaired balance can be a sign that a potential break or fracture has been sustained, and this is one of the things that people most commonly ignore if they aren’t experiencing any of the other symptoms in the same way. Pain is the most common symptom of any type of break or fracture, and it’s one that almost everyone will experience – but it’s a fact that how people experience pain can be wildly different and worlds apart at the same time, which can lead to symptoms like impaired balance and pain being ignored.
For the duration of healing a Jones fracture, it’s likely that a doctor will recommend that you stay off your feet – and literally – for at least six to eight weeks after the injury has occurred. During this period, the fracture is likely to be put in a cast and total rest is recommended for the fracture to re-attach in the right way.
