Shame about your knee. Very short walks with your crutches if possible just to get you some fresh air , but I know it's exhausting using crutches. Get well soon 😊😚

Oh what a shame! My daughter fractured hers as a child, in the 90s. She had a full-length plaster on! She had it on for six weeks. Things may have changed now. You could always ring the physio department and ask their advice?

No idea how long, and very sorry to hear this. Hope it heals well and swiftly.

Seated cardio is good be sure to watch the videos first though as some do a little leg work... bing.com/videos/search?q=se...
