Broken Ankle Joint
I fractured my ankle join a few weeks back.
I'm walking normally now and have no cast or crutches but I'm getting physio therapy on it. He gave me some exercises to do at home but I really don't notice any improvement. I work walking arounf for 4 hours per day and I'm usually very active. I feel a stiffness around the front and back of my ankle when I'm tryint to go up on my toes or squat.. These are part of the physio exercises. I also feel some pain when I'm walking around at work. What I'm like to know is this.. Are there any other exercises I could do to get me back to normal quicker and is there anything I shouldn't do. I'm really wanting to get back to the gym but I'm afraid of doing more damage. I've got soft tissue damage too. Could I go to the gym? I don't know. I'm not back at physio untel the end of the month so I can't even ask him... Does anyone on here know much about ankles and exercise etc?? |

It would be dangerous (and foolish) for anyone to advise you at this point. You have a therapist recommended by a Physician. Those are the people who should be discussing a different exercise program to you - if that's what's needed.
You have no cast, support bandage, nothing on an ankle that you fractured only weeks ago? |
