What kind of work restrictions will i have for a fractured ankle that i cant put weight on working in retail with a boot and crutches aside from not using ladders?

Well: If you cannot be Wright bearing you need to stay off the leg. So you could use your crutches as long as you do not put that foot down. Follow the directions of your orthopedic for you do want to heal properly
