I had a Weber B fracture of my left lateral malleolus on September 13, so three months ago. I was in a cast NWB for 3 weeks, then progressing to FWB by 6 weeks, when the cast came off. Since then, I've been having regular physical therapy, and I feel that my injured ankle is nearly back to its normal strength. My problem is that I continue to have considerable pain after walking more than a mile. My commute to work involves a couple of miles of walking, and I have dogs who need walking daily as well. The pain is mainly at the fracture site or in the nearby connective tissue, but it has been affecting my knee lately (around the fibula knee ligament) as well, and there is often soreness in my sole and the ball of my foot.

Is this normal? When can I expect the pain to subside? Is there anything I can do to reduce the pain without giving up walking? Thank you.
