Absolutely Not: Health Tap is not in any way the right forum for you to get treatment advice that could actually harm and disable you. Go to the doctor. Today.

Fractures heal: This is a tough problem and many Americans cannot afford healthcare. The best advice is to see a doctor. The next best is that people broke bones and breaks healed before there were doctors. It takes 4-6 weeks. The risk is healing with a deformity, and you having to compensate for this change for the rest of your life. This may be minimized by resting your leg and using crutches and don't smoke.
