I'm told by one of our sports trainers at our club who is very respected that there is a good possiblity from the pain I have in my leg and knee that I could have fractured (partially) the end of my fibia.
But when I asked my GP about getting some X-rays she refused saying that it cant be broken because I can weight bare. Now the trainer says, and since I have studied human anatomy and physiology at uni I tend to agree, that the fibia is a non-weight baring bone and I could walk on it if it was fractured. I can't however run on it, nor put any pressure on that side of my knee. I cant weight bare if I put my weight on my knee while bent (such as in the squatting position)... not even in the swimming pool!
Who is right in this situation? Should I be getting another GP to look at this? The one I am seeing says that ligament issues take 12 weeks to heal and wont refer me to anyone else. (I'm at 11 weeks yesterday).
