Hairline fractures

Does anyone know if you can walk on a hairline fracture or if you need crutches or a boot? I messed it up on the left foot left side about 4 inches down from my baby toe where that bone is.

If you have been diagnosed, the doctor should have prescribed your therapy. If you haven’t had an xray, it would be smart to do so. A hairline fracture leaves a weak site that can torque out of shape and bother you for the rest of your life if it heals improperly.
