malunion fractures

Health Q&A
Safe to walk?

Safe to walk? Like it was a minor hairline undisplaced fracture in the posterior aspect of my lateral malleolus. A stable fracture. And some soft tissue injury too. I have maintained non weight bearing for 25 days. My foot is in a fiberglass cast. Can I start walking 26th day onwards, while still in cast and with rocker shoes and a crutch? Bc the fracture was very minor. Just some chipping. Like partial weight bearing? And pls look at the xrayyy carefully Can I climb stairs too?

Heavy Legs

I am preparing for an SI physical test on 10 June. I am experiencing persistent heaviness and weakness in both legs. There is little pain, but my legs feel fatigued, heavy, and do not generate enough power while running. My endurance and performance have declined significantly, and during long jump my legs get exhausted very quickly. I have consulted multiple doctors. X-rays of my legs and lower back were normal. I have been prescribed Vitamin D supplements, muscle relaxants, recovery supplements, protein, electrolytes, and adequate hydration. Despite this, the heaviness and weakness persist. The main problem is that my legs feel weak and do not respond properly during physical activity, even though pain is minimal. What could be the possible cause, and what tests would you recommend to identify the root cause? Also, with my physical test on 10 June, what can I do in the remaining days to improve my performance safely? please help

Hip Labrum Tear

I am reaching out because I have recently been diagnosed with a hip labral tear, and I am seeking your expert guidance, medical suggestions, and a comprehensive treatment plan to help me manage the persistent pain and safely restore my mobility. The discomfort in my groin and deep within my hip joint has significantly impacted my daily routine, making regular activities, prolonged sitting, and exercise increasingly difficult to tolerate. I would greatly appreciate your recommendations on whether we should initialy focus on conservative management—such as targeted physical therapy to strengthen my surrounding stabilizing muscles, activity modifications, and anti-inflammatory options—or if my specific imaging suggests that surgical intervention is a more viable long-term solution. Please let me know what next steps, diagnostic reviews, or lifestyle adjustments you recommend so that I can reduce this joint irritation and effectively begin my recovery process under your care.
