How Can A Fractured Tibia Be Treated?

I was diagnosed with a fractured tibia after I was out for 3 weeks and played on it for about 2 weeks.. I then was out in a boot for 3 weeks. And the doctor told me to take it off and ease back into playing. I have an x Ray from both when I get diagnosed and from after 3 weeks in the boot. I want someone else to take a look st it and tell me if it looks improved

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There is no X-ray attached. Either you should visit a local primary doctor as he will declare your fracture status on seeing X-ray or you can put general physician query in HealthcareMagic with attachment of X-ray. Anyway if there is pain on movement and no pain on pressing the fracture site the fracture is healed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
