spiral break of the left tibia and fibula

(2 discussions)

I broke both the tibia and fibula in my left leg while I was eight months pregnant.
My surgeon decided to put a plate and 8 screws in my leg .
This was done on December 17, 2013.
I still swell quite a bit and often have pain in various places.
What should I expect and how long does it normally take to get back to as normal as I will be, and how much strenous walking should I be doing?
