Broken Leg

[QUOTE="WhiPit, post: 926519, member: 17688"] This is my first post to this part of the site. I don't know if there's a moderator that can help with my question, or maybe there's a physical thereapist in the group. Anyway, long story short, I broke my tib/fib in three places on March 13th. I originally had a rod and 2 screws inserted to stabilize the injury. About 14 days ago, my surgeon removed one of the screws (there was one at the top of my tib and one at the bottom - each end of the rod), the one at the top of the rod. My leg "feels" okay and I'm walking w/o crutches or a cane. My feet get tired after a long day of standing, but there is no pain otherwise. My main concern is that my leg is so swollen - even this long after surgery. The surgeon just says "well, it was a bad injury....it may always be swollen". I don't really like that answer. Is there something I can do to help with range of motion in my ankle (knee isn't too bad) and to start reducing the swelling? I already do stretching with my ankle, but I know that if the swelling were gone, I'd be able to move my ankle a lot easier - and further. I plan on being back on the bike by August, so I'll try just about anything to get the leg back in shape! :cool: [/QUOTE]
