Knee pain after healed broken tibia!!!
(2 discussions)
I broke my tibia in a soccer game and went through about 5 months of casts..recently I received the OK from my doctor to run and jump and whatever… So I went out and ran 2 miles…and am now experiencing knee pain below my knee cap towards the inside of my leg… It is a little bit swollen and too painful to run on… What do you think is wrong with it? and how do I get it back up to shape quickly?

I too broke my tibia and fibula playing soccer a few years ago. I tried getting back into soccer, but because my ankle had been locked in a cast for so long the ankle just was not strong enough and took a beating over a span of about 6 games.No worries though, I am back playing again and what not. I do sometimes think my knee hurts some, and i’ve never had knee trouble. I think it is very important to ease into things. Your body isn’t used to the pounding of a run. I think weights will be vital in restrengthening your body without impact and just slowly get into things. Run on grass etc. Sometimes I still feel where I broke my leg, but I think that is part of it. I wish you luck in your recovery and definitely just try and be smart about strengthening yourself, no matter how anxious you are.

my knee hurts after this break in my tibia but so does my ankle and foot! I still have swelling of the foot and ankle as well as my leg! It has been 40 years now! Why
