Anyone broken their ankle?

[onelastchance]

I broke my ankle at the beginning of june. It's still really sore, stiff and swollen

Still need crutches alot of time and walk bit big limp without.

has anyone else ever broken their ankle and how lon gdid it take to get back to normal?

when i was 16 i shattered my ankle, i have pins and screws holding it together,it took ^ weeks in a plaster cast, 6 weeks in a removable plastic cast and 4 weeks in a support and another month or so before i could walk without crutches, it was a long road but i got there. my friend recently broke her ankle and got her cast removed 3 weeks ago, and is only just starting to walk with out crutches. i think the rate of recovery depends from person to person, if your really worried, then speak to your G.P and ask for some physio. hope that helps.

Thanks Duffy. i've been having physio but still bad.

It was a bad break - 3 plates and 20 screws but was really expecting to be better than i am by now

I broke mine 10 years ago now but I remember it taking a long time to get anywhere near normal........probably a good 6 months. I still don't have full range of movement in it and it can get stiff/sore too.

I broke it in 2 places and had it manipulated under GA......narrowly avoided pins thankfully!
