Closed Ankle: reduction. Are you being a little impatient? Ankle fractures take weeks to months to improve. Are you following the advice of your physician? It is likely it should not even be weight bearing by now, are you following that advice? Have you followed up as directed? See or call your doctor and see if your expectations are on the right tract, you had a significant injury.

Need Re-evaluation: 2 weeks isn't a long time. More information of the injury would be helpful, but you should be watched closely by the physician that did the closed reduction, unless it was at the ER. In that case you should be evaluated by podiatrist or orthopedist to be sure the bone is in good alignment. Don't delay as the longer you wait the harder this will be to repair.
