Question
do these things help with metatarsal stress fractures?

Answer

Dear Jacob:

These whirlpools are designed to be used in conjunction with a structured rehab program or for general treatment of sore muscles and joints. 

For metatarsal stress fractures

• Seek professional help as soon as possible
• Keep weight off the foot, a removable cast is ideal
• Ice the top surface of the forefoot for about 20 minutes every hour. To reduce swelling, wrap the foot in a tensor bandage with moderate compression.
• Wear a running shoe with a stiffer sole or sports insoles.
• You may need x-rays or a bone scan to confirm a fracture.
  A sports podiatrist may apply orthopedic taping and padding to relieve stress from the metatarsals.
• Silicone padding can be used to enable pain free walking and running during the healing process.
• Occasionally a plaster cast is necessary.
• Nutritional and hormonal deficiencies or irregularities must also be addressed.

In the process looking up the correct naming of a specific type of forceps during research for my medical writing, I came across the following page which seems to have a pricing problem: Medical & Surgical Forceps You mention a retail price of 114 US$ and then mention your price as 4900 US$. I presume this is a data entry mistake on your website and thought it proper to inform you.

Answer

Dear Stef:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.  We are in the process of updating pricing and apparently got carried away.  We are correcting the issue.
