Hi Lindsay, Hope all is well. YOur break is a serious injury and I hope you will get better soon. Seing as you are young your healing process will be quick compared to others who are older or smokers.
I do agree with the other person who wrote that your break is not as bad as a Tibia. I don't think he was being mean spirited, but just letting you know that it could have been worse?I broke my Tib/Fib and was in a cast for 4 months. Now that was a long time to be on your butt:))It was really hard because the tibia bone is so vital to standing, walking, running etc!!!If you have time see MIchael Vick or Donaven Mcnabb. THey both broke their Fibia's and we're back playing football within 3 months. NOw Albeit they have million dollar trainers and equipment, but they still were healed in 3 months. So down be down and just get into physio. Thank GOd that you didn't break your Tibia.
Good Luck CAnana!!
