Question 1

pain in a past broken ankle after work out. why is that, since the injury was a year ago?

Accepted Answer

Possible soft tissue: I have seen this many times. The ankle can become stiff and painful after a fracture. Sometimes it can be from a tendon or a ligament that was also damaged at the time of the fracture or it can also be from  a problems with the cartilage in the joint if the fracture involved the joint line itself. I am biased, but a physiatrist (physical medicine and rehab)  can evaluate and help with this.

Question 2

pain in a past healed broken ankle after work out. get orthotics at walgreens?

Accepted Answer

Can try: You can try off the shelf orthotics and see if they help. If not see a doctor with expertise in this area. These include, orthopedists, podiatrists and physiatrists.

Question 3

by wearing a walking cast for broken ankle could i work?

Accepted Answer

Depends: That would depend on the type of work you do. If your work involves a lot of walking or climbing, you might want to request an alternate duty temporarily; if you're walking only occasionally, there shouldn't be any problem. Just don't be in a hurry and be careful with steps and wet/snowy/icy walkways.

Question 8

how can you treat a broken ankle?

Cast or boot: Depending on the type of injury, you may be offered a cast or more likely a boot. For the first few weeks, you will be non weightbearing until the healing starts. After a while, when a callus is formed, gradual return to weight bearing will be done. This will depend on the type of fracture and your progress in healing.
