    You really get it properly assessed by a professional,as there are a variety of ankle fractures, some involving ligaments, others not, and so someone can properly assess the state of the ligaments ie whether the ankle has laxity etc. Because you are at 8 weeks, you can then be started on a rehab program to work on the deficits that are there.
