Ankle fracture
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi guys I know it's very frustrating out there you know cuz we're out of work and we're in pain and it seems like nobody's telling us anything that's going to do any good but I'm here to tell you that yes I didn't follow the doctor's orders and I took it to the long way around but I am so much better now it has been way better way way way better since I had the hardware chicken out I know a lot of people say that they have a lot of problems after taking out the hardware but I haven't had any I just want to say you need to stay positive be open-minded find a therapist that you really like and have a doctor that you really like that listens to you and if you don't have these things you should investigate on finding someone that you do like and do respect and do have trust in and really give the therapy a shot because it really does do a lot better in the end I started my therapy again today and it was tough real tough and a little bit painful but I know my therapist wouldn't ask me to do anything that was going to cause me harm that wasn't going to help me and so just try to go along with it and try not to do it just in therapy do it at home too because the more you can get in the better for you and the faster you'll be well now I don't know about all this numbness and tingling after my first surgery it didn't go away and so I'm not looking for it to go away but you know I can live with it

Yeah, First 4 weeks also I was in depression. I sprained my left ankle lower fibula crack (not fully fractured) and talus crack. I went 3 doctors they said different advice. Of course Doctors are also humans like as but if they will be a little more kinder and friendlier with us it will be better. I was 4 weeks in a cast this is a fifths week and I removed cast last week. All doctors said me to walk normal give up crutches. But they did not know your body as you they only feel it when they also get injuried their own body. I can move,rotate and bend my ankle without pain. It feels normal like before but when I put my full weight it hurts like a hell. I cannot even put my full weight I only put my half weight. But they said me to walk.But how, how can I walk with this pain. Pain is only in my lateral malleolus when I bear weight. One of them said me to get drug named "Antirin" why I need drug. He said that fluids reduced in my ligament thats why it hurts. What a fluid?? ligament stretches, tears but fluid?? I asked them to do second xray but they denied it. They said everything is okay. But I cannot walk even bear weight. Sorry for appealing but please give me advice is it normal that deep pain when ligaments damaged or do I have another problem with bones (fibula, talus). It feels that my ankle is getting better day by day but I cant still bear weight. Will lateral ankle ligaments heal itself or do I need surgery. Please don't say see your doctor I went them enough.

Dam I will be happy when I can walk again. Depressed yes. Nobody. Here but my myself to do jobs required to live. Nerve damage numb foot pain and all the rest. Your advice is well noted I don't like my Dr. Physical therapy I can deal with. Bimolllear fracture if the ankle plate and 10 screws.
