Fractured tibia

I had a stress fracture of the tibia years ago. Walking with crutches gave me great shoulders ....
 
Sucks bro. I fractured a tibia once. I was dunking off stacks of chairs in middle school. Bad idea.
 
The big problem is swelling. Had noticed previously my ankles swell around my socks. BP was a bit high but don't want to take meds. Not diabetic. Can anyone give some useful tips to help prevent fluid retention in the lower legs? Causes, concerns, etc?


Keep your feet elevated above heart. Once the cast is off, you can do hot and cold baths with your feet. I have been rehabbing both of my feet and found that if I soak in very hot water and then soak in very cold water and continue switching back and forth for an hour, the swelling was reduced greatly! Good luck!
