My right foot was fractured beneath the ankle. Consulted a doctor and he plastered POP. It's been 25 days and I'm taking complete rest, pain is gradually decreasing. Question is I have a commitment to go for trekking in next month. Is this good idea to go for trekking with two months old fractured foot? I heard "a fractured bone takes 3 to 4 months to heal completely" is it true?

Hi... Body doesnt heal according to your commitments. Once fracture is radiologically healed, then you will have to undergo few rounds of physiotherapy to restore your strength and mobility. Only then you will be able to do all trecking and other activities. Please be patient till eveything sets.
