My wife had a similar injury at work, and was forced to continue working although she was in agony. The result was permanent damage. She now cannot do any kind of work where she has to stand on the foot for over an hour and has to wear a brace. The foot still swells after standing or exercise.
Take care of yourself and listen to what your body tells you.
I broke my foot in August, and have only been back at work 4 weeks now, I had to ask my boss if I could wear my trainers cause they are the most comfortable and supportive shoes right now. She said yes and I'm very glad I can wear them. My doctor told me that my foot would swell up but my boss was very good, she didn't nag me to come back early or anything, we discussed what was best and I came back on a short shift. I don't think it was fair of your wife's employer to make her continue to work, it's in their best interest if she gets to heal properly. I hope she's ok.
Ah I used to know someone that worked for them. I'm sorry to hear that she's still suffering. I really do hope she does get better.
