Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i have re-fractured my left tibula. The original break was done in Nov 2010 and never knitted together properly. No surgery and i am in a cast again this time. I went over on it on dec 27 2011 and whilst i appreciate it is still very early days in terms of the healing process i have begun to feel a almost at times excrutiating burning/stinging sensation when i move around or when i hobble about on my crutches from resting (no weaight bearing for the next two weeks). I suppose i would just like to be reassured that this is normal and all part of the healing process. Thank you. Faith.
Can't say in your particular case. The pain typically lasts 2 weeks BUT if there is problems with bone like osteoporosis, calcium deficiency, malnutrition, etc, then it might not heal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
