A member asked:

Hi there! last week i got my cast off my leg as i had a broken tibia (close to the knee). will i be able to wear heels this weekend?

Doubt it: Because there has been muscle atrophy, stressing the calf, which will happen with heels, will lead to fatigue and pain. Strengthen your legs for a couple of weeks. It should not harm the bone that was fractured, but allow your body to heal
