Ankle surgery recovery related question
I had my ankle surgery done on 30th Aug. Got my plaster off on 7th Oct. my surgery suggested to start physiotherapy. I have been on physio since then and its been a month. I can now walk with a walking stick but i can walk slowly only. I can also walk without any support slowly. My physiotherapist says not to walk much even when I'm comfortable doing so. Nor my ankle is getting swelled more than it already is. My question to doctors is: it is fine if i walk as much as i can right without discomfort. It will help my recovery right

Best is operating surgeon advice as he is more careful and responsible for your issue..
Without xray amd examination, its unjustice to give advice
