I’m on week 3 of a stable weber B non surgical fracture. I’ve been NWB in a boot and crutches for the past few weeks and the hardest part about this has been the mental aspect. It’s debilitating. All I can think about day and night is the possibility of my fracture having shifted or me possibly making things worse for myself based off little movements in the boot or accidentally bumping the boot, etc. I have followed orders and remained 100% nwb the past few weeks but here and there I’ve had to catch myself if the crutch slips from under me and those little moments make me panic so much that the fracture may have shifted or gotten worse. I don’t feel any new pain and most of the pain is like 95% gone anyways and swelling is very minimal at this point. I need someone to tell me these little accidental movements or bumps here and there aren’t impeding my healing progress.
