Will I Be Able To Run After Recovering From A Broken Tibia And A Fibula?
Welcome to Ask a Doctor . Please type your question here...I broke my tibia and fibula playing soccer 12 months ago. I got a rod and screws put into my leg. It took my bones 10 months to finally heal, I had to use a bone stimulator. Now that they re healed, my doctors said that I could go back to playing soccer but I m still experiencing a lot of pain in my leg while running, to the point where I can t run anymore.

Hi,
You have broken both the major bones of the leg.
Almost complete recovery is possible. But keep in mind that it will take a long duration.
Long term physiotherapy is also required.
Consult a psychiatrist and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
