Hello,
I fractured my right lateral malleolus (another doctor said it's fibula fracture) at night from 20th to 21th march 2010 (almost 2 weeks ago). At first look it looked like a sprain, because i didn't feel too much pain. After 8 hours i did x-ray (image below) and doctor put my lower leg into the cast for 6 weeks.
After 4 days i did another x-ray (below).
In my opinion this is simple, nondisplaced fracture (but maybe i'm wrong). The worst thing is that i have non-weight bearing cast for 6 weeks. I didn't feel pain quickly after injury (one hour). At this nigt i slept in sleeping bag without any problems (without cast). Later i drove car (putting acceleration pedal). Now i'm in cast but i feel very well. I don't feel any pain or swelling. When i'm standing on this leg it's all ok. I eat lot of proteins, calcium, vit D3, vit C, drink milk and i have a lot of sleep (minimum 8h). In general i'm healthy - i ride bike a lot and run. This is my first broken bone. I'm 28 years old. My only dream is put the cast off as quick as possible. Do i have a chance to do this? It will be great if i colud be ride a bike with my friends at end of this month (from 28th april).
Thanks!
Kacper
