i recently broke my leg.
[{"role": "system", "content": "A bone fracture (sometimes abbreviated FRX or Fx, F, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a damage in the continuity of the bone. A bone fracture may be the result of high force impact or stress, or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, bone cancer, or osteogenesis imperfecta, where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture. Although bone tissue itself contains no nociceptors, bone fracture is painful for several reasons:   Damage to adjacent structures such as nerves or vessels, spinal cord, and nerve roots (for spine fractures), or cranial contents (for skull fractures) may cause other specific signs and symptoms. The natural process of healing a fracture starts when the injured bone and surrounding tissues bleed, forming a fracture hematoma. The blood coagulates to form a blood clot situated between the broken fragments. Within a few days, blood vessels grow into the jelly-like matrix of the blood clot. The new blood vessels bring phagocytes to the area, which gradually remove the non-viable material. The blood vessels also bring fibroblasts in the walls of the vessels and these multiply and produce collagen fibres.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I recently fractured my leg, but it was from stress trauma.

I know there are exercises and rehabilitative therapy techniques you can do to help it heal properly. "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It happened about 3 weeks ago! I would love to know some exercises and therapy to do for muscle changes and bone strength. Maybe I should look into that!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "You should. Check out Youtube. There's a plethora of information out there and the videos of demonstrations are super helpful!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Thank you so much! That's a great suggestion!"}]
