Foot facture
3 days ago a bike fell on my leg and it was paining ever since, and now I took an x-ray and it shows that I have 3 factures in total, my doctor put a pop cast and I wish to know how long it may take to heal as my doctor didn't tell me that clearly, and also one of my friend mentioned that I may require a surgery for this, so I wanted to know about that as well.
