A member asked:
What are the best clues of a fractured fibula? i'm having a hard time telling if i broke mine or just have a high ankle sprain.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to your doctor : If you had injury to the region of the fibula and pain persists, you need an X-ray. Talk to your doctor as the longer you wait, longer it will heal.
