Fractured Ankle
Posted: 06-19-05 13:29pm

Two weeks ago I fell down some stairs and broke my fibula in two places. The doctor said I could start putting a little weight on it now that it's been two weeks. My cast is big around the foot so putting on the cast shoe is difficult and slightly painful. Is it supposed to be painful? Should I whine my way though the next couple of weeks and walk through the pain or does the pain mean I should stay off my foot?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!
