Fibula ORIF, Ligament damage?

[gcoe]

When you bend the foot backwards yourself do you mean using your a hand to do the movement or just using your muscles without any assistance?

I am still in a fibre glass cast with 5 days till it comes off hopefully. I am trying to pull my foot back without any force just by using the muscle. Obviously my cast is stopping my foot being pulled back all the way but I can still feels some pain in that ligament. It does worry me as I was an active football player before the injury. When the injury occurred, My ankle just felt so weak and just flopped about like it was loose making me think that I had snapped my ligaments. There was some immediate bruising aswell after about 1hr around the injury. I just hope that it is healing ok and that the pain in that particular ligament is normal after 5 1/2 weeks.

hi friend
as per you description they might have been some lig damage .once your lg is out of cast,you will be able to really appreciate the movement quality and associated pain more clearly.then based on what you feel,you can talk with your doc.hope it makes some sense
