    Brief Medical History Overview

    Broken Leg Help

    Physical Agents In Rehabilitation
    I broke my leg in January was a Tibia Fibula compound fracture was in a immobilizer the first week then was put in a long leg cast that came all the way up above my knee for about 12 weeks did physical therapy after I was walking on crutches for about a week or so then when I started to walk I had a permanent limp. I eventually quit taking therapy and still have a slight limp and the limp is heightened when I walk barefoot. I have this problem where when I bend my left knee ,the one injured, it cracks like if you were popping your finger. It has been doing that for more than A month and I am worried about it. I am also nervous that I might just have a limp for the rest of my life

    Need some help suggestions what should I do?

    Re: Broken Leg Help

    Hi there,

    Are you unable to straighten your knee? or is your ankle the area that is resulting in your limp?


    Please provide more details.

    Regards

    My ankle was the problem at first because I would walk with my foot out but It doesnt hurt anymore what hurts now is large amounts of pressure on my knee and I can straighten my knee but it makes this awful cracking sound when I do bend it
