Tib / Fib fracture

by boroball13, Jun 03, 2008 09:40AM
I broke my lower leg in two spots on Oct. 14, 2007. I fractured the Tibia and the Fibula. I broke it in a football game and I had the surgery a day after. the only thing they put in my leg was a rod through the Tibia. I've recovered fairly well. I can walk fine, and I can jog heel to toe fine, but when I try to sprint ( toe to heel) I have trouble. It hurts in the calf muscle. Can anyone let me know if this is normal, or if there is anything to do to help it. Thank you
