Hi everyone! 31 days ago I sprained my ankle from falling. Xray showed hairline crack in talus and lower fibula. My doctor recomended me to walk after cast removed (I was 4 weeks in a cast). I am on  5th day without cast but I cant still bear weight and walk its painful. What should I do? and another question my another left leg also feeling a little discomfort. I walk and bear full weight on it, I am using only my uninjured leg because of crutches. And it also feels sore in my lower tibia of my uninjured(healthy) leg when I press it with my finger. But there is no pain and swelling and I can walk without problem. Is it a symptom of stress fracture or just overusing pain? What do you think?

    Your good leg is feeling the weight of being solo. Use the crutches still,but add small amounts of weight on your bad leg as well. Try just standing up on both feet. Then add. You know your body,and only you feel what you feel. Discuss with your pt. Mine have explaibed so much,and help me figure out how much im bearing with no pain.
