 Re: Still swollen
ASR    7:48am Jul 18 2012

Swelling is normal for up to a year, although it's better to try to keep it from swelling by using compression, elevation, and ice when necessary.

I know 7 weeks seems like an eternity to you, but many people don't even begin to see bone growth on x-rays until 10 weeks or longer. Technically, you're still in early days by most people's experience. Your fibula isn't needed for weight bearing, so that's why you'll probably be able to WB next week.
