Hi so I have a plate and nine screws now I’m in my boot and can only weightbear a little still walking with zimmer my foot is as stiff as a board can take my boot of for bed . My problem is my foot wasn’t set at 90 degrees and putting my boot on is so painful I’m hoping when I start physio a week on Tuesday it will make my journey of a broken ankle a little easier.

    The doctor gave me a couple of heel pads made of hard foam to put in the heel of the boot for the same reason. It really helped that few degrees that my foot was off, and eventually as you physio your ankle into more motion, you wont need them. MAke one yourself if need be, its a lifesaver.
