Navigating my navicular...

So I've been having some foot pain since I rolled my ankle a month ago playing soccer and I've finally gotten to the bottom of things. I learned two things today- first I am a mutant- I have an extra bone in my foot, an accessory navicular bone, that is present in about 10% of the population. Secondly, I managed to fracture that bone right where it attaches to the main navicular bone in my foot. Since I fractured it a month ago it would be useless to put my foot in a cast now, but I do need to prevent lateral motion of my right foot as much as is humanly possible.

I guess the good news in all of this though is that my problem is not more major and that if I do manage to find a way to rest my foot sufficiently for the next month, this whole thing should heal up and stop hurting. Now I do have an extra "bump" below my ankle joint that didn't used to be there, but that's purely cosmetic. My foot still fits in my hiking boot, even when wrapped in an ACE bandage, so I think I'll be A-OK.
