Hello...I m 64 years old, and 4 weeks out of surgery to repair a broken tibia. I m out of my cast, and now wear a leg brace, although no weight-bearing. X-rays showing good bone mending, and otherwise quite healthy. However, lately I ve been experiencing increased fatigue and slight nausea. I can t seem to get enough rest and sleep. I take T3 occasionally for pain. Question is: why am I feeling so much more tired than In the earlier stages of my recovery? Thank you.
Hello, I have studied your case and I think it is usual to have some amount of weakness and nausea. It can be Chat Doctor. Fracture healing is a slow process and take some time before you will be able to walk normally. It is too early to comment on the bone modeling. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
