Make sure when walking your ankle is protected so not to hurt or re-injure your ankle or worse. Use ice therapy for 48 hours then contrast bath therapy. Until physician examination is possible. Aleve or ibuprofen. A few months is a long time to see the surgeon of record? Are they aware of the injury? Physical therapist during this period would be very helpful. Try to inquire about Referal
