Pls try to send complete details.
Usually fracture healing takes time upto 3 months..
If your doctor has advised to walk you can as he is the best judge to know about fracture healing..
Swelling may happen even after 3 months.
Do not worry about that...Just do limb elevation and compression bandage whenever swelling is noticed.
