High sprain ankle stress fracture on 1. the other ankle hurts now after 11 weeks using crutches and some exercises. hard to move around what do i do?

This happens: This happens often, due to the fact that you have placed all of your weight in the last 11 weeks on the contralateral leg and ankle. You have developed tendinitis at this time. Ice, elevate and compress. Also if you are receiving physical therapy at this time for the broken ankle, you may want to let your therapist know about the pain. Let you doctor know as well.
