A member asked:

I met with an accident 25 days back. i got medial malleolus fractured and i am taking natural treatment here. but also in x-ray their is no improvment?

Patience: I am not sure what natural treatment means but you need to remember that the X-ray results are actually 2 weeks behind what is actually present. If you are being careful not to injure it again,keeping it elevated to reduce swelling , taking some extra calcium and wearing the splint, if you got one, then you just need a tincture of time to get well.
