Hi so i have trimal fracture that happened July 28. Took 3 weeks to have surgery due to a sore where bone almost popped out needing to heal. So ive been laying up for a while which in turn means my muscles are sore on that leg. Im having such a hard time keeping it elevated because the calf muscles ache all day. Taking muscle relaxers but no relief. Is there a pillow or something to help? Also i have on plantar fasciitis boot not cast.
