Foot bone fracture

2017-05-09 18:58:46
On 22 march I met with an accident and encountered foot fracture. it has been 45 days and it has only healed up to 30% as per the referred doctor. I am diabetic patient too. My question is why my recovery is so slow and does being diabetic is the sole reason for it? and as per doctor, the plaster has to be kept for 2-3 months more? is it justifiable? Please reply soon gender-Male Age-53 years

Hello sir, I don't think that you should keep your plaster for 2 to 3 months kindly discuss about the treatment with your doctor. Thank you.
