Sorry to hear about your injury! Based on your description, its most likely that you just aggravated the injury. If my own patient called me with this concern, I would offer them the option of getting a follow up Xray as an option, just to make sure. Hope this helps!

I am an optimist and I suspect nothing major has happened. I would ice it and elevate for a couple days. Good idea to repeat X-rays and ensure stability. Re-fracture is unlikely, but better check.
Good luck and Happy thanksgiving!

You should go back to your treating orthopedic surgeon. If it is still within 90 days of the initial visit, there will be no charge (except for the X-ray). Was this an ankle fibula fx? Or was the fibulae broken higher up in the shaft of the bone?

I think you probably sprained your ankle. Certainly at your age the fibula was well healed. If pain persists, a new X-ray is indicated.

After 4 weeks your fracture is like being glued together but not firm like cement. If pain resolves within day or two should be no worries. If becoming more severe or just not going away see your doctor and get follow up radiographs to make sure fracture is healing appropriately. Good luck.

Likely okay, but get a follow-up X-ray to be sure.
