Broke my ankle in 2 places 6 months ago. didn't need surgery so is it normal to still be in pain with pitted swelling in the ankle?

It can be: A joint can often swell for many months after a break. Sometimes, scar tissue will develop, leading to permanent thickening of the area. If you have concerns, see a podiatrist or orthopedist for an exam and x-rays.

You need to : Follow up to see if the bones actually healed properly. Perhaps, a elastic anklet or compressive sock should be worn to see if that helps.

May: Have a non union or avn. Need new x-ray and possible mri.
