Is this OK I have a Jones fracture every site says it takes 8 weeks to heal but the doctor is taking your cast off in four and i am walking on it?

No, it is not okay. A Jones fracture is a serious injury that can take up to 8 weeks to heal. If you walk on it too soon, you could reinjure yourself and prolong the healing process. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions and wear your cast for the full amount of time that they recommend.

Some general tips for recovering from a Jones fracture include:

- Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

- Keep your foot elevated as much as possible.

- Ice your foot for 20 minutes several times a day.

- Take over-the-counter pain medication as needed.

- Use crutches or a walking boot to keep weight off of your foot.

If you have any questions or concerns about your recovery, please talk to your doctor.
