It's been 4 months since I had a trimelleor w/ dislocation surgery. This week, my doctor took me off the boot, and told me I can full weight bear. I've been going to pt, but I still have limited mobility. I'm wondering is the hardware is keep me from having full range. Or how much longer before I'm back to normal?

Hi.
I had the same injury with dislocation nearly 3 years ago. I shattererd my ankle. I have now 2 plates with screws and 2 long screws inner ankle bone. I wasn't walking without any aid until post op 5 MONTHS. It was one step at a time slowly. I was frightened to go into crowds for fear of being bowled over. I'm still getting there. Unfortunately I still have pain and due to the condition of my bones my metalwork can't be removed. I'm going to have a bit more hydrotherapy shortly. I would say my walking is good but I don't rush around. It all takes time but it was a serious injury so don't push yourself too much. It's little by little, not a marathon race. I would say you are getting there but you're not there yet. You will improve because I think I'm still improving. I have my good and bad days. Keep positive and keep going. All the best. 🙂
