Hi my husband fractured his fibula just above v the malleolus by someone falling on his leg. The xray look like the break is all the way through. Workmans comp have him he boot and crutches. They referred him to a podiatrist which didn t make sense to me. It s been 4 days. Nothing has happened yet. He s in severe pain, lots of swelling and bruising. He says his pain is a stabbing pain and now burning. I m worried.
