Does Stiffness In The Legs After A Fracture Cause Long Term Side Effects?
I broke my foot three mounths ago and I was in a cast about one mounth and for the other two months I was in a boot. I have been walking on my foot with out the boot now for two weeks, and my knee down to ankle has been really stiff. I ve been test for blood clots and I didn t have any, and I have appointment in four weeks. I asked the doctor if I should have physical therapy and said he didn t see the need. So my question is can this stiffness in my leg cause long term problems in the future?
