Problems 9 weeks after breaking ankle
Hi doctor. I broke my ankle and was in a pot for 6 weeks. i am now in a stirrup and the hospital told me I didn't need to keep it elevated anymore. i am now on my second week in a stirrup but still having pain and my foot swells up each day. i take a daily short walk as advised, but still in surgical shoe as i can't get a normal shoe on! There was no mention of physiotherapy. I am still on sick leave from work.
