    I could totally relate to your story breaking my leg in Japan! Last spring I came from the United States to see my son graduate from a Japanese university. We did a little sightseeing before his graduation and went to Kyoto to see the cherry blossoms. While coming down the train station steps I fell onto the concrete at the bottom. I didn’t find out that my leg was broken until after I flew home on three planes back to the United States a few days later.

    I did the same thing back in 2008 with breaking my ankle on black ice downtown Pittsburgh. I was walking on the sidewalk then foot went up & my butt hit the ground. Tried walking just thinking I fell at first then kept falling back down. Had to admit to the doctor 2 nice older ladies helped me over to a building to sit but limped to get there. My ankle looked like a red bouncy ball at the time. Then went to the hospital had surgery on it & was told not allowed to move for 8 to 12 weeks. They gave me a walker because I had a hard time balancing. They wanted to give me crutches & had me try to use them but couldn't keep my balance. That was a bad year... 🤦‍♀️✌️ Hope your leg heal's good~ 🙏

    I've had a lot of breaks/sprains on my feet (I'm very clumsy and it shows LOL)....at this point I don't blame you if you didn't realize at the time you'd broken it, since you were still walking on it when it happened. Usually I realize something is broken when I can't put weight on that area or it's very painful to walk. I actually fractured my left foot about 3 years ago, ended up being in a walking boot for 2 months while it healed, and then about 3 months ago I nearly broke a toe (It sprained really badly), and had to be in a walking shoe for 3 weeks. my feet have changed quite a bit, and you might find after your fibula heals that your shoe on that foot doesn't fit quite as well, or it will feel like your ankle is still a bit swollen for months afterwards. hopefully the next few weeks go by quickly for you!
