Depends on the injury, really. I broke my 2nd, 3rd and 4th metatarsals 6 weeks ago. For 2 weeks, I was in a fiberglass cast with the front cut off to make room for swelling, wrapped in an ace bandage. Then I went to a full fiberglass cast for 4 weeks. Now I am in an Air Cast for 4 weeks.

So, really, it depends on what you broke and how much weight the doctor feels you should be putting on the foot

So here are some things you should know; -if it is broken and it is your ankle or heel, you will most likely be put into a aircast -go to the doctor asap because I waited two weeks and it got worse -you should go to a orthopedic doctor before or after so he can tell you whats wrong etc. -and stay off it as much as possible (I thought I sprained my ankle so I was on crutches for a week, and they helped)
