I’m a 32 y.o.male. I fell 12 ft on march 24 09. I shatted my left ankle and both fib and tib. I had to wait 14 days for swelling to go down. My surgery was 4 hrs. And I have 2 plates and 14 screws. Had a second surgery to remove 4 screws causing problems. Now I’ve been told I have a non. Union. In my medial mal. Tip of tibia. I’m due to have a bone graft on march 10 2010. Pain and depression is very bad. And more pain to come.

I broke and dislocated my ankle at midnight on 7/31/2009. Had surgery on 8/10/2009. After over three months on crutches, walker and wheelchair (two splints and three casts) I was able to use a walking boot with the aid of crutches for a month. Then went without the crutches. Have a plate with six screws on the outside of my ankle and on the inside two long screws. Now the surgeon tells me that the inside of my ankle is not healing, but the outside is completely healed. I am scheduled for additional surgery to remove those two screws and graf some additional bone in that area and put two screws back in. I’m not looking forward to it. Surgeon said I’d be on crutches for 2 to 3 weeks not weight on the ankle then I might go back to a walking boot.. We will see, I’ll post again once I know more after surgery on 2/16/2010. WISH ME LUCK…

got my cast off today, six weeks from breaking fibula, feels pretty good, can walk on it, incision is very tender especially where it was rubbing cast and a lot of the top part of my foot is numb, but used elliptical trainer, and felt good.

Six weeks after surgery, got the ok from the doctor to start weight bearing. Still wearing my cam boot and starting to walk. Hurts more now, than it has in the last 4 weeks. I’m walking, using a cane, so I can go back to work in a couple of weeks. Doc said it was ok for me to return to work, as soon as I thought I could handle it. Boss is good with the idea, even letting me slide with some of my duties, like walking all over the shop all day long. Just sitting at my computor and answering the phone and charging out parts on invoices. Doc said I would hurt while trying to free up the ligaments, but the bone is healing just fine.
Sometimes I get these stabbing pains in my ankle, and I still have places that are numb. I think that for the most part, it’s getting along pretty good.
Sue, my foot swells whenever I am on it for a while and it still gets red sometimes, but for the most part, I don’t have any problems. As far as pain is concerned, only from walking. Have you talked to your doctor about it?

Broke my tib/fib and crushed the ankle on 12-21-09. Reconstructive surgury on the ankle sockets, one plate and 9 screws to hold it all together. Staples out two weeks later and into a boot. Non weight bearing for the next 4 weeks. Not too much discomfort, with the exception of occasional shooting pains. Question is: it looks lightly red and is very warm to the touch. Think this is normal?
