A member asked:
I am 7 1/2 weeks into a nondisplaced ankle fracture i have the ok to start walking on it im trying to figure out can you have full range of movement with a swollen ankle is the swelling what is preventing some of my ankle movement

You have been immobilized for seven weeks and the joints of your ankle are stiff, so you have to ease into it. Tissue damage is marked by the five symptoms of inflammation, redness, soreness, heat, swelling and loss of function. It is going to take time, so go gently!
