Hi! 6 weeks ago I was playing indoor soccer running too fast and rolled it horribly. Ive never broken a bone! I broke my ankle in 3 spots and dislocated it, i had it popped back in right away after seeing the doctor and i have two pins in one bone and a plate and screws in the other. I was told to start weight bearing two weeks after my surgery. Ive been getting up trying to bear more and more weight and this past week I was finally able to walk somewhat with a lot of pain. Today I couldn't even walk on it at all and my pain has been through the roof. I was told before my surgery that my third break will most likely heal itself. I just don't know what to do? Could it be the third break not healed correctly?
