Fracture in Fibula Head

I have a fracture on the Fibula head due to fall from bike 2 weeks ago. The doctor didn't apply any cast/plaster but advised to use hinged braces. Only cycling, sitting crossed legs, stairs up down is restricted by the doctor. But I'm walking minimally(Partial weight on the fractured leg) and time of the time sitting keeping my leg straight. Pain and swelling reduced. But stiffness around the knee and pain during flexion of the knee. Should it heal without cast/plaster and how many days would it take to walk normally?

Validity of shoulder MRI

I have shoulder pain for last five months. I took a MRI. It said the following. Supraspinatus tendinosis without evidence of tear. Mild acromioclavicular joint arthropathy.

Body parts problem.

Suddenly, my right hand feels numb and weak. I am also experiencing a mild pain in my right hand. Some time ago, I sustained an injury to my left knee, and that old injury has flared up again. I am finding it difficult to climb up to elevated places. I am very poor; I would be deeply grateful if someone could offer me some assistance.

Pain in Achilles and area below it

I got injured while playing football. The area above my heel, around the Achilles, hurts a lot in both legs. The pain isn’t noticeable when my body is warmed up, but it becomes quite severe once I cool down. It gets so bad that I sometimes struggle to walk properly. The pain is especially intense in the morning when I wake up. Attaching a picture to point the area where it hurts in both of my legs!!
