Re: Getting over a fracture..
Hi Carol, I do think that was unacceptable to just shove you off home like that, but as I haven't yet had a broken LOWER limb, touch wood, I don't know what the protocol is.Re: Getting over a fracture..
The pain and swelling is normal after a cast comes off.Re: Getting over a fracture..
Hello Carol - I was going to post yesterday but thought maybe not!! I had a cast removed after a few weeks and the pain, once it was gone, was pretty bad and it was so weak I would have preferred the cast back on!!Re: Getting over a fracture..
Mine was the same Carol when I had an ankle operation and know how debilitating it can be, in my case the cast had given me a false sense of security so when it was removed the joint seemed terribly weak. The swelling sounds familiar too, but all I did was to take my time, be gentle with things and gradually try to put a little more weight on it as the days went by, continuing to use a stick as necessary. I seem to remember though that a week on and things were much easier but it was a few months before I was back to normal.Re: Getting over a fracture..
