A member asked:
I fractured my tibia and fibula in december. is it normal to still have pain in the area 10 months on? finding it's been aching a lot recently

Maybe: You should follow up with your orthopaedic surgeon. Fractures are normally healed by this point, but there can be many causes of pain including nonunion, malunion, infection, and various other soft tissue derangements.
