This you would have to address to the doctor at the top of the page or possibly ask your physician...Hopefully someone who reads this Forum and your post will be able to help you further on this...It really sounds sore...Good luck...

I just broke my tib and fib on June 7th. I also got a rod inserted and 3 screws. I've been taking 4 motrin every 8hrs since a couple days after surgery. I get shaking every once in a while and the only real pain happens when I stand up. I'm not allowed to put pressure on it just yet, but when I get up on crutches I get an overwhelming surge of pain. I've found it is less if I swing or move my leg as I get up. I get the numbing/tingling feeling every once in a while too.

I've found most people online have really screwed their legs up. I pretty much had a clean break of both bones and am expected to start putting weight on it after 3-4 weeks and 6-8 weeks possibly no crutches. I start rehab this Friday.
