Natural Health: Seasickness

Q. I fractured my left tibia over six months ago, and find I am still feeling sore and stiff in that leg.

Natural Health: Seasickness

I was in a cast for almost 14 weeks which may account for the pain. Walking seems to be okay, but anything that involves more impact seems to set me back for two to three days. Is there anything that I can do to strengthen the bone and help with the pain?

A. Six months is still relatively recent for a fracture, particularly since you were in a cast for over half of that time. Ideally, you will need to work on strengthening and rebuilding the bone as well as the supporting muscles.
