Bons nd fractures

2018-03-08 03:16:24
Well, I have been playing soccer for w while now but started having problems with my tibia. About a month ago I fractured my fibula and my old dr decided to put me a cast which I was meant to have for 4 weeks. I went to a new dr and he said the cast was not necessary so he got the cast off 2 weeks earlier and so I rested for 2 weeks. Then I started to practice again a week ago because this week I had a tournament but last Sunday I made a wrong move and felt that I worsened my previous fracture.
