I had a accident 4 months ago,broke my femur and tibia. Rehab is saying I should be full weight bearing and starting to walk on my own.My ankle wasn't damaged but it will not bend and that is where I am having all my pain.I'm scared I'm not going to be able to walk on my own

    Hi,

    Have you tried explaining this to them. Speak to your physio and ask for advise. 

    Good luck x
