I Just Got my cast off and i was wandering if i should walk on my leg.?
I broke my tiba 4 weeks ago. My doctor put a cast on my leg and i took my cast off yesterday. My doctor know put a brace on my leg and he said i should walk on it with my cruches. I don't know if i should because it feels weird and i am scared it will break agian if i step on it. should i step on it or not.

Definately walk on it for a little bit while using the crutches, but dont over do it. It wont break unless you do something drastic, like throw away your crutches and go for a run. Actually, putting a little bit of weight on your broken leg will help the muscles get stronger. Your cast has prevented motion to the leg and muscles and ligaments will have gotten weak. That weird feeling is probably just your muscles trying to wake up again.
