Thank you for making this site and member actively is robust.

52 yr male, good shape. I rolled my ankle and have a fractured lateral malleolus, the "tip" is broken clean through horizontal with "no" movement. Doc wanted boot but too painful to put on. Weight bearing cast for 10 days (Doc said I talked him into "over-treatment"). Cast off yesterday, x-ray shows no movement of bone, soft tissue supposedly healed, yet no bone healing yet. CAM Boot now goes on fine and works great but fracture still hurts like &%$#. Starting physio next week, range of motion, strength, etc. Until then R.I.C.E., boot and twice a day "point toe, do the alphabet". I take 6 advil a day, three in morning, three at night (otherwise too much discomfort). Though sleeping is difficult, any movement under covers wakes me up, I might wear boot to bed. I'd like to drop the advil and push through the discomfort. I'd like the drop the boot and push through. I'd like to start walking 10, 20, 30 minutes or more. Any thoughts? thx. cheers.
