hello I hope you can help. I broke my tibia and fibula on the 8th August wearing high heels. I had orif surgery the next day. I was non weight bearing in a fiberglass cast for 6 weeks. The first three weeks I was in unbearable pain.
I have had the cast off on Monday and was told x rays are fine and I should now weight bear. My problem is I am in alot of pain and cannot move my ankle in any direction especially when I try to pull it towardsme it really hurts. It is very swollen (more swollen than when the cast was first taken off) and some areas of my skin are completely numb. I cannot weight bear because it hurts too much especially the outside of the leg. I was wondering if this is normal and how long it will last for.
I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem or same injury and how long did you take to heal. Please help!!!
I am 23 year old female usually fit and healthy.
Many thanks,
