A member asked:
Fracture on left foot. feels like i stretched a muscle just below my right calf yesterday. trouble walking on it. how long before it heals?

Usually 6-8 weeks.: The pain in your right calf is probably due a change in your gait in order to not put pressure in your left foot. With heat applied to your right calf and rest the pain should subside. Have your PCP monitor progress.
