Fracture to leg
I fell down 3 weeks back and my bone near the ankle got hairline fracture. The plaster has been removed now and doctor has advised to wear ankle cap and take calcium tablets for 2 months. But I am getting lot of numbness in my leg and little swelling.  Is it necessary to take any physiotherapy? Also I have got some blisters and infection in the fractured portion. Any remedy for the same?
