A member asked:

I am having muscle spasms on my fractured leg what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rest and stay in the: Splint or cast that has been given to you, as these last for maybe a week or so. Muscle relaxers would be helpful. If no relief after a few days or if getting worse, check with your orthopod, as the fx bones may have lost the position, is gotten displaced.
