Ankle stiffness after ankle surgery.
Posted , 4 users are following.
I had surgery on April 1st, - and was put into a cast for 2 weeks, then i was given a boot until i could start wb which would be 6 weeks post surgery. when i was given the boot i was told to start moving my ankle around so i did and now i dont really have any pain when i move it around, but it seems when i move it a certain position (so say im standing and im bendind down) that certain position of my ankle, it feels very stiff, i was wondering if thats happened to anyone before and how long does it take to go away? ALSO what kind of pain is normal when walking again?

hello! what type of surgery did you have? it sounds like you are doing well not having pain at this point...are you doing any physical therapy? that would help with the stiffness.
