If you've been walking around on a broken ankle, you may have done additional damage. You may need surgery.

I speak from experience. I fractured my ankle last November. Went to the hospital, had surgery, then spent three months in a rehab facility so I'd stay off my feet and get PT. I'm still working on the walking.

Now I'm locking this thread as it violates the group's statement of purpose.

Good luck.
