A member asked:
Distal tibia fracture 6 weeks ago (no surgery). is it normal for my toes (esp part of foot under big toe) to swell up after standing on knee scooter?

Yes: With a fracture on a leg, sometimes the trauma as well as the decreased movement will increase the risk of a blood clot in that leg.With that being said,it is very common on the leg that you injured something for areas near it including to foot to swell up.Elevated it when you sit or lay down will help.
