Can I run and jump as soon as a Jones fracture is painless?

Doctor’s answer

Pain relief alone does not confirm union. Examination, follow-up imaging, gait and graded loading guide return. Even screw fixation does not remove delayed-union or refracture risk with premature impact. Recurrent local pain warrants reducing load and review.
