A member asked:
I am in a walking boot for a clean fracture of right fibula. after two weeks i can walk in the boot with no pain? good sign?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: That is a good sign, but you will need to continue to wear the boot until you get x rays to know that the bone is healed. Bone typically takes 6-8 weeks to heal.
