I hope that you will get a good physical therapist when you are able. I injured my right knee last summer and therapy has really helped. Good luck.

I will do what I need to do in order to do what I want to do.

Talk to your doctor first. That is the most important thing. It would be nice if the GP would hook you up with a physical therapist. Ask them about water walking in the shallow end of the pool. Takes the weight off your joints and bones and yet offers some resistance for your muscles and keeps your blood circulating. When I water walk I also wear water socks so the bottom of the pool does not chew up the bottom of my feet. Best of luck to you.

I broke my fibula 3 months ago and DH just fired my osteopath. He was getting particularly
insulting as I had refused surgery.

He had been xraying every 2 weeks and we kept asking not so often.

Well, this last xray shows it is slowly healing.

DH is cutting off the cast today and and an aircast is coming in from Amazon.

How can I start walking again?

I will be going to my regular GP in a couple weeks, so not sure what she is going to say. An ACI check. I feel so lost and vulnerable.
