 Pain free walking??
Mary1111 (216.11.184.---)   9:27am Apr 24 2012

Might be a dumb question...when I walk with one crutch I definitely feel pain in my ankle. Maybe a 2/3 on a scale of 1-10. More achy than anything. Only hurts when I actually put weight on it. Stops when I don't. Should my steps be pain free? Any idea how much pain is normal? I know some of you talk about not pushing too hard....but I have no idea what too hard is :-) I feel like the very top of my foot (near ankle) is what seems to bug me the most. Also the sides of my heel.

2/17 bimalleolar ankle fracture (fib/tib) not displaced
2/29 ORIF (2 plates and 7 screws) - soft cast for 2 weeks
3/15 removable boot NWB
4/12 WBAT - in boot
5/14 walking unaided
6/28 - Fibula plate removal
