Had surgery back in Oct 15. Broke Ankle in 2 places plus Fibula. Put 1 x diastasis screw right through my ankle. Cast for 6 weeks, then boot & crutches for an additional 3, physio etc, then had screw removed 3 weeks ago. Thought this would be the end of the pain - but no such luck. Its ok when i do nothing, but trying to get exercising again, and the easiest of bike rides results in heaps of swelling & bulk pain, sleepless nights. Totally over this. Anyone got suggestions?

I haven't had this type of injury, mine was a lateral ligament reconstruction for ankle instability, talar lesion lesion and extensive arthrofibrosis. I had my op in July and still have a lot of pain and swelling when I over do things.
May I say it sounds like you may be doing too much too soon? I know it's frustrating but maybe pull back for a little while then build up. Ice, elevation and rest in usually good and when the pain and swelling is less, gentle exercise, ROM etc.
Take care

( I used to run 20 miles a week, so I miss the activity)
I am sure your op will be fine but it will take 912 months.
All the best
