Activity After Tibia Fibula Fracture Posted: 05-16-07 19:33pm


My doctor gave me the vague instructions "don't overdo" today after putting me in a walking boot. I broke my leg (tib-fib) 12-07-06. My nonunion is finally starting to heal (40%). The doctor knows I'm eager to regain my muscle mass, life, etc. Can you give me any more specific advice about acceptable activity level, exercises, etc?

Activities that exersize the muscle without placing weight on the bone can be good, like weight-less lifts. No more than 15 minutes of excersize too.
