I dropped a few hundred lbs on my foot and got my ballerina's fracture. I like "dancer's" better haha. I went to the gym 4 times a week, every week, even in the boot. Just did mostly sitting exercises. It took 4 or 5 months to start to fuse still. :shrug:

That's an insanely long time-frame for healing.

Bones usually start fusing in weeks, not months.

Yeah it was almost half a year for me. My doctor even started prescribing "non-standard" treatments like electrical stimulation, etc, which didn't work.
