Is this a pseudo jones fracture or jones fracture?

After biking for about five minutes, I lost balance and fell off. My pinky toe went numb for about 5-10 minutes, and then my foot was super swollen looking. Went to urgent care and got X-rays and they said I had a tiny fracture of my fifth metatarsal with no displacement. They gave me a boot and crutches and said it should be good in a month.

Question 1: does it look like a pseudo jones fracture or jones fracture?

Question 2: I keep reading comments about weight bearing and am unsure what that means-- does that include weight on the foot while wearing the boot or without?

Question 3: If it feels okay, is it bad to rely just on the boot / no crutches?


Thanks!
