i've had my ankle operated on twice!. one surgery was to fix the ankle the first time, the second was to put metal screws and plates in the ankle!. I was on crutches for approx 6-8 weeks followed by a walking boot!.
elevate it to get the swelling down, and do not rush walking on it!.!.!. because u do not want to have to have another surgeryWww@Answer-Health@Com
