so i broke my right ankle on June the 12th 2021- pretty nasty fracture if you ask me, 11 screws and 2 plates. understandably i still have a bit of swelling and stiffness but for some reason just above my ankle, more of my lower shin has like a painful pressure whenever i step on it. i know im still in the healing process and its probably nothing but i was wondering if anyone else feels like different parts of the foot or ankle takes turns and has its phases of a bit of pain and pressure during the healing process? when i first started walking it was the whole foot, then my toes then my ankle and now my shin!! is this normal or should i be worried??
