Problems......advice needed ....?
I am flying out to Ohio in a few weeks, have managed to break my ankle in four places! Ouch! Throbbing nicely at present.
How is this going to effect my flight???
Answers:
Well sitting in one spot for an airplane flight tends to swell your ankles up in general. In your case with a broken ankle, you can probably expect that the swelling and pain will get worse with the flight. I'm not sure what kind of immobilization you have on it now, or if you had surgery, but ideally to keep swelling down try to keep your ankle immobilized, and keep your leg elevated to above the level of your heart. This may be difficult on an airplane but if there is room to accomodate this, it should help some.
