I am 57 years old and fracture trimalleolar with screws and plate surgery on February 28, 2018. Now at 7 weeks, the doctor says I can resist the foot. Is not it too early?

I am now 7 weeks...cast came off on Friday. Told to walk in running shoes. Eek. Went and got a boot anyway and it’s a dream. My ankle is incredibly stiff and therefore sore. But I’m doing my exercises and trying to get the range of motion back. “A stiff ankle is a sore ankle”.
I’m walking with boot and 1 crutch. If I’m bare foot I’m walking with two crutches. Each day is minimally better.
Start physio ASAP!

I am 11 weeks post ORIF from a Bimalleolar, posterior, and medial sleeve allusion fracture of my ankle and also fractured my fibula. I wasn't allowed to bear weight until 7 weeks after my surgery. My bones have been healing well, but I also ruptured all of the ligaments in my ankle. My ankle is still very stiff and I am still walking with the aid of crutches. Remains to be seen if I need to have ankle ligament reconstruction surgery.
