I can definitely relate to leg injuries, since I currently have severely bruised bones in my knee area and a torn ligament in my foot, after falling down some steps. I'm wearing a knee brace until my bones heal and then have to wear a foot brace, since I can't walk on my foot without further injuring it. (I've seen an orthopedist and a podiatrist.) I sure hope yours heals up well and sooner than mine seems to be. The doc said "since I'm older, it will likely take longer." I'll be 58 in Jan. Guess I should have fallen down those steps earlier in my life......
