Accepted Answer

Question 2

Broke my tibia 4 weeks ago and have been in a cast without surgery. Got an xray done and attached it here. Wanted to ask how long I need to keep the POP on before it can come off. When can I start putting some weight on the leg and what's this kind of fracture called. Also how long till it heals enough for me to walk without crutches. Been taking Fredcal 500mg twice a day for calcium is that a good choice

Accepted Answer

Wear the pop for another 2 weeks. After 2 weeks start partial weight bearing. This is called a tibia fracture. In 3 months you can walk mostly normally Use injection vitamin d to ensure good healing

Question 3

I'm experiencing some pain when I'm either standing up or lying down, specifically in my leg near my stomach. It seems to hurt even more when I put pressure on it. There's no blood or anything like that, but should I be concerned about this? What could be causing the pain?
