Should I be in pain?

[thistlewhistle]

I have asked questios before about my spiral fracture: I hsve been put into a PTB cast this is a cast that covers the knee but is cut behind the knee so i can bend it. I want to know should I still be in pain, the cast is to allow me to weight beare and walk with crutches. My heel is very sore well uncomfortable, I also get twinge of pain were the break is, do you think this is to do with the fact that I am putting weight on it. I cannot sleep at night as my heel is acheing, can anyone give me some advise on what I shoulld do, I am not back to see the doctor until end of July.

I have no experience with this but I would suggest sleeping with your foot proped up on pillows.

The pain is probably fairly normal,but even though you don't go back to the Dr. til the end of July, I would definitely call him. If it's anything,he'll get you in sooner. good luck

Take paracetamol and ask the doctor for sleeping tablets.Sorry that you are in pain. pain is pain and no one else can feel it for you. I honestly hope it eases up for you.Wouldnt it be a lovely world without pain?

Get a hold of him as soon as possible. Even though the cast allowes you to put weight on it, avoid it as much as you can. Untill you get your doctors word, Tylenol and Advil are your friends.
