After having a Fibula ORIF on October 4th 2009, I am now into week 6 of my recovery. I was given a walking sandle after week 2 but was told to only partially weight bear using crutches. The problem thats worrying me is that when trying to bend my foot back towards myself, I feel some pain in my ankle ligament. If you imagine your right foot and bend it backwards, it is first ligament on the front of the ankle on the left.
When I broke my fibula, my ankle did feel really unstable and really really week. flopsy is a good word for it. I had to have it realigned before I went in for the orif. Is this normal to have some pain on week 6 or am i just worrying over nothing?
I have attatched my xray post surgery. Thanks
