Today's episode actually comes from a comment and a question sent in by one of the viewers of the Doc On The Run YouTube channel. 

This was Jean, wrote in and she said, 

"Hello, Dr. Segler. I had a fifth metatarsal fracture repair surgery five weeks ago. I was started to walk without crutches and a knee walker or a scooter as of yesterday, but my foot feels achy, though. Well, as a runner, when can I possibly resume running after my metatarsal surgery?"

This is what everybody wants to know. 

I didn't do the surgery and I don't know all the details, but I can tell you that depending upon when you're going to run after a surgery depends upon several things.

How soon can I run after fifth metatarsal fracture surgery? 

Well, that's a great question, and that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
