A member asked:
Im 12 weeks post broken calcaneus (no surgery) given the ok by doctor to start walking again. this is very painful and im not able to put all my weight on my foot. how long will it take for me to be able to walk without some kind of support?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on position and kind of fracture. Since it is a weight bearing bone sometimes it takes longer for pain to go. If it is very painful let your MD know so he/she can advise you or re examine you. Hope you feel better.
