Broken Metatarsal

[rick_422]

Anyone else managed to break one of these pesky little bones in their feet??

I fractured my 3rd metatarsal 3 weeks ago now. Funnily enough the same weekend that Dayne Beams did his.

I'm starting to get a serious itch to do something other than upper body. Has anyone else had experience with this, what sort of cardio exercise worked for you? I'm coming off a really solid base but can still feel the fitness wasting away. I didn't need a cast. Just have been spending some quality time with a moon boot and crutches.

The doc said it would be a 6-8 weeks so hopefully i will be back for the last few games then finals. I'm trying to stay positive anyways! Just dont want to fall too far behind

Cheers

I broke 3 of them mate.. a year and a half ago now. Still gives me pain especialy on cold days. I couldnt run for a good 8 months after mine happened.

For cardio look at using a boxing speedball... a few minutes on that should get the heart going. Some gyms have hand cycles which would also be good.
