A member asked:
Swelling in lower leg after fracture , will that go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and No.: Swelling after a fracture, especially in the lower extremity, can be expected but with some limitations. Your question needs further specifics to have a meaningful response. How long ago? The fracture site and severity? The location of the swelling as well as any other health issues affecting your health would be helpful.
