Hi sir, after going through your query understood your concern.
I advice you not worry much regarding physical activity until the fracture completely heals. If your are on drugs or on insulin, consult your doctor and try to increase the dose under his guidance. Follow strict low calorie diet advice.
Regarding skin please check for infection. If it is so start an antibiotic course. Don't forget to take your doctor's advice regarding increase of dosage of your medication.
Thank you. wishing you good health
