Proper physical Tx: One needs proper physical therapy and a brace after an injury, unless the fracture is a possible diagnosis as well. Cartilage injuries are also long lasting and cause complications afterwards.

Possibly: Being far deviated from a normal body weight can create difficulty in healing. Be sure to keep strengthening the musculature around the ankle and possibly resume physical therapy. If pain still persists, return to your physician.
