A small crack in your leg bone (a hairline or stress fracture) can be very painful and may worsen if not treated properly. You should avoid putting weight on your leg, keep it elevated, and apply ice to reduce swelling. It is important to see an orthopaedic doctor as soon as possible, as you may need a cast, splint, or supportive device to ensure proper healing and prevent complications. You may take painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, as advised by your doctor.
