Apparently I have broken my foot in two places. Both are on the 5th metatarsal. The original Jones fracture has opened up and looks like a wedge has been taken out. Closer to the toe, the bone appears shredded and the docs suspect another break there. They plan to take a bone graft from the knee to fill the bored out bone ( this was from when they tried to remove the screw, it broke, and they had to bore it out) and then put in a plate. I just hope the plate is less painful than the screw😟
I guess my message is that hardware removal is not always a good thing. We live and learn.
