Sam, can't you get him to a hospital to double check his leg and ask if they would re-xray it. Maybe they did miss a small fracture before. At least you would know one way of the other.

Re: Thinking of you PP
.Doctor stopped his anti inflam tabs on Thursday and his pain has worsened since then.
He could at least walk on it yesterday.
He is going to rest up tomorrow or I shall tie him to the chair.

Fingers crossed for you and Mr P, PP. I think you've been incredibly brave!

Re: Thinking of you PP
Hes going to see his GP Monday and see about his leg.
Its early days I guess - 2 weeks today and it takes ages for internal bruising to come out.
One side of him is purple, quite a nice shade actually and I chose some pillow cases with that colour in mind
Money is a worry, if he needs longer than the 6 weeks docs have signed him off for, then the shit hits the fan.
Funnily enough I had an interview with ANZ to sort out income protection, but cancelled it due to a meeting at work.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Re: Thinking of you PP
What a weekend!
After having gut instincts about Mr PPs leg since Wednesday, I checked it properly last night and remembered that when I broke my fibula in Thailand years ago, Mr PP was presenting with the same symptoms.
Ignoring advice from family of how you cannot walk with a broken leg (I did for 5 weeks prior to diagnosis), we got a cab this morning to our local casualty and muttered to the nurse 'I think my husband has fractured his fibula'
'Oh no, highly unlikely as he can extend his toes but we will xray anyway'
Twenty mins later the doctor came up to us and said 'Good call, you are spot on'. (my gut instincts have been spot on lately, I could burn myself I am so hot!)
So Mr PP has been diagnosed with a fractured fibula and as he cant wear a cast or use crutches, he has one of those boots that look like ski boots so he wins the Stephen Hawkings contest. That cost us $270, he could have had a cast for free but wasnt feasible for him with his ribs/shoulder etc.
The difference has been amazing, he can hobble around without too much pain although they have given him more painkillers.
It is as though a weight has gone from my shoulders, the final injury has been diagnosed - one or two on this site will know I havent relaxed all week and have been upset.
His INR levels are still too low so they have increased his warfarin.
I had to laugh when the doctor asked me about how I knew and when I told her I had the same injury, she asked why and I said I did it in a lesbian pole dancing club in Thailand - very funny it was.
Shame he doesnt have a cast though, I was looking forward to drawing breasts on it.
Now at least he can start healing.
