A member asked:
I have a mid shaft fractured fibula it's been two weeks exactly and can walk with little to no pain is ok to being working out in the pool ?

Yes but confirm: Mid shaft fractures of the fibula unassociated with an injury to the ligaments holding the tibia and the fibula together (syndesmosis) are usually caused b a direct blow to the fibula. They are a nuisance fracture and are treated symptomatically. Follow up xrays by your doctor are necessary. Confirm my opinion with your doc before starting.

Yes: If you have no ankle pain and minimal swelling working out in a pool is an excellent way to progress with your activity.

Yes: If no pain should be ok to begin walking in pool. Not sure if the fx will allow you to kick in pool yet.
