hallo my friend
i read your complete history
see i need to know which bone is fractured
generally in leg its tibia or fibula which will heal in 6 weeks
now you can start physio- knee and ankle exersizes
dont worry much for purple colour,see wheather it is increasing day by day
watch for any skin problem , due to cast -report immediatly
take calcium suppliment with vit D
continue exersizes
for further query you can contact me atdrvaibhavg@yahoo.com
