Wheelchair Afterwards?


At the moment i am in two long leg casts. Will i need to stay in the wheelchair after the casts come off?

It depends on what damage you did to your legs in the first place and how well they have healed. It may be that you have to use crutches once the casts come off.

Hope you are back on your feet soon xx

possible, you will not be able to walk right away. I would guess so.

Didnt you discuss it with your dr?

Shouldn't ... actually once the fractures have healed enough, you should be able to progress to weightbearing (walking) in the casts with crutches .... but once the casts are removed, you definitely won't need the wheelchair
