A member asked:
I have a non displaced fracture in lower fibula, my doctor asked to weight bear after 2 1/2 weeks of injury with crutches, how much should i walk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask you Doctor.: This should have been asked and answered during your last visit to the doctor. Using your crutches in a partial- weight bearing mode makes sense.
