I fractured my tibia. The dr. Didn t realize it was broke and was having me put weight on it in a brace for a week. Then an MRI showed it was fractured - he said in the back. He still has me in the same hinged brace and said just to use. Rut he s and keep weight off. I don t know how bad the fracture is - I have only been putting the brace on for the very brief periods that I am out of bed. I am concerned about healing.
