Question: How much longer should I be in pain!?
So, get this, back in August I broke my ankle!. I had surgery to put in pins and I had a cast !. Then the doctor did surgery on my leg to take some of the pins back out!. That was 2 weeks ago!. My ankle is still stiff and painfull and I am still using crutches and a walking boot!.I can walk but only with the aid of crutches and only for a short time before the pain kicks in again!.By the way, there were also some ligimates torn!. How much longer should this go on!?!? I can't bear it much longer! Please help!!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
There will be pain like this for another 2-3 weeks!. It really helps to keep off it, even if you can walk for short periods!. Gradually it will go away!. You will keep feeling some degree of discomfort every so often for quite a while, perhaps even till you die, but it will just be tingling, not the sharp pain your suffering from now!.

I'd say within the next 4 weeks, you will notice a dramatic decrease in pain, and by the end of the 4 weeks, you will be able to walk on it, without crutches for short amounts of time!.

Remember to take things slowly and do what your doctor tells you!. If you are worried, then talk to them - they will know what to do!.!.!.

Good luck, get better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, just like any break of any bone, you have to allow a period of time for the consequences of the injuries!. Broken bones hurt, torn ligiments hurt MORE and ya just got to give it time to heal!. Rest on it for as long as you can, fore if you don't could could make the pain last longer than it would if you rested it regularly!. As your doctor for some juicy pain killers, I find Vicoden works best for me, he should be able to give you something to dull the pain while you're healing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should talk to your doctor about some pain medication!. The pain is going to last 4-6 weeks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
