Hi,

I had an ankle fracture and was on cast for 6 weeks. Doctor took off the cast and told me to put full weight on the legs . I still have crutches. I tried climbing a stair getting into the house after coming from the doctor and I heard a crack kind of sound when I put my bad leg down. Should I see the doctor immediately ? I have some pain but not severe in the bad leg.

Thanks for your reply

If you haven't seen one yet, then I assume it is better...Be careful...These can be really sore and take time to heal...Take care...
