Ankle stiffness: Did you ask your doctor about the stiffness? If not, give him or her a call about it and bring up any other concerns you may have.

Typical.: Post ankle stiffness can be part and parcel to many ankle fractures. Typically the surgeon will advise you to attend a physical or rehab specialist to help with increasing the mobility and many even offer the service. Call your surgeon and ask for a referral.
