A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ankle fracture: For 2 weeks one should not move the ankle around much or keep the foot dependent for too long at a time in order for swelling to recede. Newer recommendations are that early weight bearing speeds up the bone healing. However if it causes severe discomfort it may mean you sustained a more serious fracture. I hope you're being treated and followed by an orthopedic surgeon. Let him know how painful
