no you should at least wait six weeks and then do some exercises that your doctor show you otherwise you have a very great risk of breaking the bone again and you are more than likely to need surgery which can cost up to $20,000, unfortunately.

Are foot bones healing one week after a fracture?
Yes of course they are. At one week it is still the beginning of the process of healing time but yes, at this point your body is at work and your foot bones should be ready to put pressure on them after about three weeks with probably fracture boot. Add pressure/weight to your fractured foot every day and build up that pressure/weight every day as i had said before. But always follow what your regular doctor or your orthopedic tells you to do.

You injuryed your foot 6weeks had 3 xray and all doctor said you damage tissues in your foot 5weeks went back to the hospital and a doctor said you got a fracture why did there not told you first time?

It is only weeks later when the fracture has calcified and begun to repair does the extra bone that is produced in healing become visible and hence it can be diagnosed. Another example bone in the hand is the scaphoid bone. Don't blame your doctor for everything!

How long does it take to heal a skull fracture?
Skull fractures take a few months to heal. When fracturing the skull the healing process takes a lot longer than any other fracture, like a fracture in the wrist or foot. Because of how much was damage and depending on the area of the fracture and the extent of the damage, the healing process could take up to a year, and in some cases even longer.

There are orthopedic shoes designed to immobilize the foot for healing but you would need to consult with a health professional about using one for your injury;
