A few days ago, I got an email from a runner who wanted to know whether or not he should have surgery to fix his Jones fracture.
Well, the first thing you have to know about this is that you should only have surgery if you believe that is the only way you're going to heal appropriately.
When you're a runner, you really have to think about surgery very carefully. Because when you have surgery, your healing actually doesn't begin until after you're done with surgery. The healing process is always taking place, and you don't get any credit for anything that happens before the time you have surgery.
Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about whether or not a Jones fracture needs surgery when you're a runner.
