Question

is it normal for a fractured bone after over 1.5 month? any treatment could make it better?

thanks!

Answer 1

*****I recommend that u get your ankle recheck to make sure everything has heal correctly. See if it hasn't the ankle will continue to be swollen because it's still injury. I read other people statments and it's incorrect about it been swollen still if anything it would look smaller then the other ankle because it's been in a cast, so sweety please follow up with you doc. I wish u the best and I hope u have a Divine Day and a Happy Easter

Answer 2

Expect the ankle to remain swollen even after 3 months. This does not mean however, that the fracture has not healed. It's just that way even with a sprained ankle.

Answer 3

My leg was broken once and I did not have that problem. However, maybe you are putting to much pressure on the leg hence the swelling. Your muscles are prob. limb and over some period of time will regain it's strength.

Try not to put too much strain on the leg and sleep with your feet up / put a pillow under, this will help with the swelling. If the swelling persists then you should see your doc.

Answer 4

ankle rotation and sit with your leg raised when you sit down,yes its normal
water retention
