I broke my ankle in February we're now in June I've had several x-rays but the fracture hasn't healed plus my ankle keeps swelling something fierce. I asked my doctor what will happen and he just said well see just have to wait. Had anyone had a similar experience?

Hi Ruth yep I fractured my hip and pelvis one year ago this month, pelvis is healed now but hip hasn't healed yet, I'm told it can take up to 18 to 24 months to heal, how true this is I don't know, but it was an orthopedic surgeon and physiotherapist who told me this, remember as well you have damaged all the muscles as well.
Not a quick process just don't try to run before you can walk

Thanks. I'm just ecstatic I'm up and able to at least take baby steps... Cried so much thinking I was not going to be able to walk again.

No you will walk again, your bones will heal fine and so long as you do as your told there's no reason why you shouldn't go back to how you were before, I would certainly ask for a blood test to check your vitamin D levels, its important as if there low your bones can break easier and want heal, mine were what they called critically low, on high doses daily now
