Yes of course they are. At one week it is still the beginning of the process of healing time but yes, at this point your body is at work and your foot bones should be ready to put pressure on them after about three weeks with probably fracture boot. Add pressure/weight to your fractured foot every day and build up that pressure/weight every day as i had said before. But always follow what your regular doctor or your orthopedic tells you to do.

How long does it take to heal a skull fracture?
Skull fractures take a few months to heal. When fracturing the skull the healing process takes a lot longer than any other fracture, like a fracture in the wrist or foot. Because of how much was damage and depending on the area of the fracture and the extent of the damage, the healing process could take up to a year, and in some cases even longer. Once you fracture your skull the healing process also includes the healing of the brain itself. You can't just fracture the skull and get on with your life. Depending on the force that fractured your skull you can end up with memory loss, brain damage, and other nerve problems.

How can you hairline fracture your ankle?
I got a hairline fracture in my ankle by to running up a slide and jumping off and due to not wearing proper shoes. When I landed I mistakenly landed on my left foot and due to all that force coming down on that one ankle, the outer part of my foot touched the side of my calf..... It swelled up so bad that when I got it X-Ray'd the doctors couldn't see the fracture, they thought I just got a real bad sprain. It wasn't until a week later they realized I had a hairline fracture in my ankle. Sorry for rambling on. :P

How long to heal the ischium fracture?
I recently sustained a pelvic fracture to my right ischium. I was told it is a non-displaced fracture and that I am looking at a 6-8 week recovery time. This happened a week ago and I have spent the majority of the past week in bed and when I am up, I have been using crutches so that I am not putting weight on my pelvis. I have also been taking Oxycodone and Hydrocodone with the pain around the clock for the past week.
I have a big lump on my arm after a fall I had when jogging no broken bones. It has been over a week and the lump is still there. The arm seems to be healing but lump is still there. Should I worry?
The lump may be related to the injury or to the healing process. It may persist for weeks. If you have any pain or the lump gets larger, consult a physician for treatment.

Is there still pain a week after a fracture?
Usually yes. The duration of the pain will depend on where the fracture is. For example, the pain from a fractured rib can last 6 weeks- 2 months since this area is always moving when you breathe and takes longer to heal. I have fractured my rib twice and my ankle and the pain for both lasted for quite a while. Just rest it as much as you can and get as much calcium and vitamin D as you can to help the healing process of the bone.
Why would the vet not put a splint on a green stick fracture?
unless the fracture was so small it would heal quickly (a week or two) there would be no reason not to splint it. if a splint was necessary, and the vet wouldn't splint the fracture, go to a different vet.
