tibia fracture
I fractured my tibia bone on my left leg on January 1, 2018. The break is about two inches above my foot. I am now out of a cast an am wearing a boot. There is healing but it is slow. Is it possible to begin physical therapy to restore muscle tone in my calf? I am putting some weight on the broken leg when using crutches or walker. I do have swelling in the foot and have been elevating it while sitting and at night.

I had a tib/fib spiral fracture due to a sking accident.After six weeks of PT I am doning very well regarding flexibility, strength and reduced swelling. I am, however, experiencing tenderness of the medial ankle bone when walking. It is covered with a plate. The pain came on about 4 weeks into PT. What can be the cause of this? It was actually better earlier on in the therapy.
