Hi all,

6 wks ago i fell down approx 6-7 stairs with my foot twisted underneath me as I fell. I broke my ankle (Displaced Malleolus webber b type fracture) I had a back slab on for 1wk before going to fracture clinic, I then had a non weight bearing cast on for 4 wks and now i have nothing on it. My ankle and foot is purple and still very swollen and VERY VERY painful. I am having physio and ultrasound but that is just causing even more pain. Im doing the exercises told to. My physio now wants an Wikipedia reference-linkMRI scan to see if ligaments are torn and says I may need them stitching back up if they are. My consultant told me that my ankle was still broken but if I was on a desert island I would survive!! Should I be experiencing all this pain etc and is this the kind of treatment I should be receiving? I am taking 30/500mg cocodamol and 400mg Ibuprofen. I am still using 2 crutches and cant put full weight on leg yet. Although I do try everyday!

My physio has been the only person that has listened to my pain and how i am feeling. I cant fault her at all.

Is there anything else I can be doing to help???????????
