Three months ago I fractured my pelvis and my tibia in 4 places and my fibula in three places and have an open wound. I have returned to the fracture clinic on two occasions, but as yet the bones are not starting to heal despite spending 11 weeks non weight bearing. I now have a boot called an equalizer walker to support my leg so that I can start to walk. My foot becomes cold and purple if it is not elevated. Should I only walk for short periods and have my leg elevated the majority of the time, or will I benefit from walking more?
My pelvis is starting to feel much improved after 3 months. Jan
