How to know if i fractured my leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You will know!: A fractured leg – tibia is significant! even a non displaced fracture is associated with significant pain and difficulty weight-bearing. In the face of leg trauma, it's usually fairly obvious. However, stress fractures can occur with repetitive activities like running. This is heralded only by escalating pain associated with the activity. X-rays or scanning – MRI or bone scan are diagnostic.
