I have been keeping my foot up as much as possible. I broke my ankle 7-17 -17 and am having surgery 7-27-17. In Ya'lls experience if there is still some swelling will they still do the surgery ? , about how long does the pain last after surgery ? I already have a follow up appointment scheduled 2 weeks after surgery. What happens then ? I am just so dam worried. I have never broken anythingFrom the time of surgery. About how long for some weight baring ?
