the redness may be inflammation but i don't have enough information about the type and location of your fracture nor do i have the ability to examine your foot. the only person that can address this issue would be the medical professional who is currently treating you -- someone who knows the details of your case and your medical history. i'm just looking for what it might be. it's not swollen just red. the 4th and 5th metatarsals are fractured. i had an x-ray done but no one has treated it per se. just want to know what the redness could indicate. thank you
broke my foot 5 weeks ago. it turns red when i stand up. what could that mean? . wearing a special "boot" most of the time. this redness is the worst when i first stand up in the morning.
