Q: Does MS have anything to do with slow healing?
TMoz,
I'm not a medical professional, but just a fellow MS patient. I don't know of any reason why MS would contribute to slow healing. It's not like lupus or scleroderma which can cause slow healing.
Although the doctor said 6 weeks, you probably already suspect that it might take longer. Be sure to follow the doctor's advice on how to care for your foot. I hope that your doctor will reevaluate how your foot is doing in a few weeks and make adjustments to your expected healing timeline accordingly.
Hope you are are doing well besides the broken foot (which is bad enough itself). Take care of yourself.
