It has been a long and drawn out process of figuring out what is wrong with my leg. Firstly, my upper achilles and peroneal tendon tore around my upper ankle area. Now, after a few months i still have pain under my knee where the fibula and all the other connections are. The x-ray came back positive today for a fibula fracture/break. Has anyone ever had a fibular head fracture? Mine is located at the bottom of the fibular head on the side closest to the tibia. Also, how long have you guys been out and did you need a cast or anything like that? Thanks.

lead me to the pasture,

Can you tell me more about the pain you have experienced with regard to your knee. I have had pain in my knee for about 7 weeks following an archilles injury and I am concerned what i have now in my knee is the results of compensating some how for that injury. My pain is on the medial side of my right knee. I limp when i run and find it really painful walking up stairs and hills. It feel okay once I warm up a little, but occasionally seems to 'pinch' which can be excrutiating. The knee seems generally worse the days I don't do anything on it (like when studying). What specifically causes you the most pain? and were you still able to train on it or was it too painful from the start?

re: yaounis

I think I originally injured the fibula when my achilles and peroneal went POP! in the middle of a workout. After those tore, below my knee was very, very painful. For me it's my left leg near the outside where the fibula sticks out a bit. However, I get pain all around the places where all those "things" connect. Side note, my patella tendon also gets very sore. Another side note, doctors knocked on the top of my fibula head weeks ago and I didn't scream OW so they didn't x-ray/bone scan me until now. I hate doctors.
