What Are Effects Of Putting Weight On Fractured Fibula?
4 weeks in to fibula fracture...and accidently put some weight on my foot stepping off bottom stairs. not all weight but some and pins and needles every where. no pain now..but worry about that bad step being a detriment to my recovery. I have not done any weight bearing as per my orthopedic surgeons instructions. it was a simple fracture that reset itself and required no surgery.

Hi welcome to health care magic .After going through your query I think you require only some rest, analgesics, ice fomentation, splinting as fibula is not weight bearing bone. Hope your query has been answered . Thanks .
