Been 6 months now since this happened, still very painful to try and walk on it. 3 plates and several floating screws

[@dailyproblems3677]

This is exactly what happened to me 6 months ago. I am still having a lot of discomfort on the inside ankle spot, had x rays done and it was confirmed that I tore the ligaments in that area very badly. Doc recommended wearing an ankle brace, adding another year for recovery. Glad I am able to move around though 😌 nothing worse than not being able to walk around and do what you need to do. Wishing you all a speedy recovery.

[@Chris-ln3xe]

Did they not put in the long screw that went through both bones? Mine happened 7 months ago, I completely tore the ligaments on both sides of my ankle and I was walking on it (painfully) after 2 weeks with an ankle brace. I have that long screw tho. You're break could be way worse tho.

I broke my tibia and tore the ligaments attaching my foot. They put a plate on my tibia and reattached the ligaments. Also a very long screw going through my entire ankle attaching the bones...but they took that out after like 5 months...plate's still there though. Prepare to take painkillers for like three months to even jog. Even like 3 years later you get 60 of those painkillers a year if you plan on doing anything like running...hiking...climbing...it is not ideal if you like the outdoors at all. Last month I went on a 6 mile hike...which used to be a breeze...I needed freaking ice and a Percocet by the time I reached the freaking cabin. 95% of the time you're fine! But expect some serious pain if you stress that ankle out too much....or if you twist it in the middle of the damn hike and you have to walk on that shit for 2 more miles because it's further going back then it is to keep going.
