A member asked:
I had a fibula fracture near the knee 10 days ago. i was given 4 weeks off work, but i doubt i will heal this quickly?

Less pain: The bone will probably take 2-3 months to heal, but the pain from the fracture should be much less by then. Depending on your job, many people are able to return to work after a few weeks from this type of injury.
