Broken ankle..?!


Question: how long before you get to walk after you broke your ankle? I understand it will be with a walking boot but how long? and will it hurt at first? I broke my tibia...

About 6 weeks in the walking cast, the boots work really good though.

My husband says six months in a cast up to his thigh. and the day he got it off, he went to McD's slipped on the ice, and broke the other one. P.S. His feet stopped growing at that point so he has a size 8 as an adult.

When I broke my tibia, they put me in a cast up to mid-way through my thigh. (I had a really bad break!) I had to have surgery and have 2 screws put in my leg. Then about a year later I had them taken out b/c they were giving me trouble. I was in a cast and on crutches for 3 months. After that they put me in a boot cast for 2 months. I had a REALLY bad break though. Yours doesn't sound as bad as mine. You will do ok probably after 2 months or so.
