I broke my fibula a week and a half ago and believe it was a displaced fracture which they manually manipulated into place and cast.
I went for an xray today and the doctor at the fracture clinic said I could start putting weight on it, as much as was comfortable and they put a rubber thing on the bottom of my cast.
I go for another xray in a week to see how it's holding up.
Most people seem to go for much longer without weight bearing so I'm a bit concerned that it's too soon.
Has anyone else had a really short period of non weight bearing?
