What Are The Precautions For Recovery Of Broken Fibula?
I suffered a broken fibula on Aug. 12,2013. No surgery required and healed well in about eight weeks in an aircast. However since the removal of the air cast I have had continual pain and discomfort on the inside of the ankle. Started physical therapy 1 week ago. Is there more I can do to correct the problem? Is it a type of tendonitis and will it eventually correct it self? I am 70 yrs. young!!

In my opinion inner ankle pain is not related to your fibula fracture, there is no tendon on the inside of the ankle for tendinitis
muscle weekness from long time disuse can cause arthritis
you can confirm by preforming ankle pump exercise for 4 min , if pain go away then i am correct , if not then
you can suspect L3/4 spodilitis
