Hey all

Am from Nairobi, Kenya

I got a knee fracture on 8th February 2018

Went to the doctor and a half plaster was put on my leg since my leg was swollen.

After 2 weeks half plaster was removed and I stayed a week without any plaster since my leg was in pain. Went and saw the doctor and was told to elevate my leg always.

I did that and the swelling stoped.

Now on 23rd march got another plaster full one now...

Just wanted to know how long does it take for a fractured knee to heal.

And how can one sleep with a plaster on their leg??

Can I moove around once in a while??

Kindly answer me those 3 questions anyone am really stressed.

Thanks in advance

    These are great questions for your doctor or the doctor's nurse.  Are you in physical therapy?  Good luck
