swim for cardio? Can you bike/stationary bike? I had foot surgery in the midfoot this year and biking i think was first cardio i was cleared for. Elliptical machine after that. Rowing machine?

 

anything with your core. Isometric exercises. If there are any machines that you can work your gluts/quads (thinking the kind where you put the bar across the front of your ankles in a seated position and lift it up, or behind ankles and pull it down). likewise inner and outer thigh..can probably do planks on either side assuming stress fx isn't on 5th meta (sure as hell hope not). I always do as many roman chair knee raises..no foot needed. dips.

 

end of the day better to miss one more month of 'climbing' or exercise like you desire, than to push it too early and risk having really prolonging it. But you're a fit active person, just adhere to your body's voice and ignore your brain when it tries to bullshit you into doing more than you should. best of luck.

Yeah I got a little crack in my metatarsal... I have a hangboard at home and access to a gym. Ideas? What should I work on? My first goal was 100 pullups, I did that last week. Now what?

 

My life is meaningless without some sort of exercise :cry:

sounds like you need some psychological therapy, as you already have one serious injury, most likely from over training, and now you are on a trajectory for another one.

I agree with ggk. biggest mistake you can make is to not let the body recover. Focus on uninjured areas. recovery can take a while. rush it and you may be sorry.

so finally got in to see the specialist, diagnosed with acute tendonitis of the peroneus brevis. negative on all fractures, which is a relief. cleared for boring activity like lap swim and stationary bike. hopefully a month or two of aggressive ice massage and good activity will get me back towards normal. kinda crazy this thing went so long without getting figured out.
