I recently thought I had badly sprained my ankle. At seven days post injury, I went in to see a local orthopedic specialist. Here's his report: "FINDINGS: Nondisplaced spiral fractures of the distal fibula with intra-articular extension to the distal tibiofibular joint. Ankle mortise appears intact. No additional fracture is identified. Vascular calcifications. Soft tissue edema, predominantly laterally."

They put a cast on my lower leg from below my knee onto my foot. Most of the above I understand quite well, it's the sort of OBTW mention of vascular calcifications that now worries me. Is it significant, or not? What, if anything, can I do about it? My follow-up appointment with the orthopedic doctor is four weeks away. Should I seek to see someone else about my vascular calcification in the meantime?
