Has anybody here had a broken tibia/fibula?!

Has anybody here had a broken tibia/fibula?

I recently broke my fibula near the knee and fractured my tibia. It's been a month and I still experience a fair amount of swelling, especially at the end of the day. The doctor said this is normal. I also have a severly sprained ankle that is taking its time healing. Anybody else experience anything like this?

I do eat well because I am diabetic and I must. It was a sudden traumatic event that caused this injury, really nothing that I could tdo to prevent it, besides paying better attention ;-)

I don't have a cast because the break and fracture are soooo close to my knee that the doctor didn't want me to lose use of my knee from lack of movement. I have a hinged knee brace that allows me to gently exercise that leg every day, but I am not allowed to walk on it. It's actually healing REALLY well and the doctor is very happy, and says the swelling is very normal. It's actually not swelling like it used to, but I wonder when it may finally STOP swelling all together. I am actually very blessed that I am not injured worse than this. I know I won't be "normal" for a long time, and I just need to be patient.

Oh Terry, i'm really sorry for you, i find that you are constantly hurt, i hope you eat healthy food because it seems that your body is fragile or sensitive.................. but do you know sweetie that for every a bit of pain you feel, Allah writes with it a good deed ( Hassana) and a bad deed(sayeeaa) is erased from you. Subhana Allah.

wish you inshaa Allah quick recovery and healthy life.......Ameen.

peace be upon you sister :D
