Maybe try wearing : A brace if you do not already do so. I would also suggest a follow up appointment of the doctor who treated you. An x-ray can evaluate how you healed and i'd there is any modification that is needed or that can help your current situation.

Trauma ankle: Because of your situation, you may have need bracing to help with walking. Antiinflammatory medication can help with swelling around the joints that had previous trauma to them. Also, you may be experiencing traumatic arthritis or painful hardware. Please contact your physician for updated imaging and checkup. If you no longer are seeing your treating physicial, ask referral for podiatrist.
