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.

When does the healing process begin after breaking your foot?

The healing process typically begins as soon as the fracture occurs. The body responds by forming a blood clot or callus at the site of the fracture to stabilize the bone and initiate the repair process. Depending on the severity of the fracture, visible signs of healing, such as bone remodeling and callus formation, may start to occur within a few weeks.

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.

Ask your doctor when you can start cheerleading again. You don't want to re-injure the site or keep it from healing properly.


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?

Because in some smaller bones in the body e.g. the foot, the bone is so well supported by surrounding soft tissue a fracture is not visible on X-Ray. 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. Once you fracture your skull the healing process also includes the healing of the brain itself. You can't just fracture the skull and get on with your life. Depending on the force that fractured your skull you can end up with memory loss, brain damage, and other nerve problems.
