I had a fracture on my cunieform bone of the first toe and that has healed (according to the xray). But I had a couple of bones floating around near the navicular bone that they removed. But my toe still hurts. So I went back to the doctor and he said it is capsulities. So okay he gave me Reflan for a month - still have pain but not as bad with the medicine. My toe still hurts with pain radiating up - and when I walk - everyonce in awhile it will just give me a stabbing pain and I can't put weight on it. Can you still have a fracture after it healed?

You should see a podiatrist. If you're currently being treated by one, get a second opinion. It never really hurts to check up on your doctor!

Perhaps you should talk to your doctor about getting an MRI or a CT. These scans can show things that a regular x-ray would not, such as ligament or tendon injuries or damage. Maybe your fracture didn't heal correctly which could also be the cause of your pain.

Generally not, but you could have another fracture right next to the old one that's being missed when the xrays are viewed..
