Hi,
I had a bad fracture of my heel bone in June, I declined any operation due to complications and very little gain. Slowly healing and now weight bearing on crutches. The last few days it seems to have gotten worse though and back to bad pain, the weather has changed, very cold and wet here and I know my other foot gets bad with the weather due to an old injury and now gets arthritis. Would arthritis come this soon though, just 4 months after the injury?
Thanks
Tina Smith

4 months is a bit too soon for osteoarthritis to set in. However, it may be that sue to a lack of movement your circulation has been affected.
