Leg fracture

2018-07-28 05:01:56
Hi I had a fracture in foot 4 months back. Now when I went for X-ray, it is shown that the same has not heeled. I have been given antiinflammatory medicine by doctor for 5 days now. What should be the way forward if it doesn't settle with the above medicine in next 5 days? Do I have to get into cast? And for how many weeks s? Promity
