post op Weber B fracture

[KerrieGraham]

I am currently 1 year and 4months post op, i had a weber B fracture and talar shift, first op i had 6 screws and plate with a large screw passing through my ankle joint to keep in place, however this did not work, 2nd op (few days later) had removal of the large screw and in place what the surgeons called 'tight rope' this held ankle in place. however feb past i had screws and plate removed due to screw piercing skin. first began to walk without a limp 7months after accident. i am currently back training however, is it right that i am still feeling pain, lifting my leg up, walking and running, still alot of swelling, and my range of movement is very poor even with the intense physio, is there anything else i can try for this, i am a young athlete very healthy and i dont want this to be the end of my career!

I'm sorry to hear about your ankle especially considering you are so young.
It's difficult to advise when its not clear what physio treatment's you've had thus far.
Try to ice it as soon as the swelling comes up, this will keep the joint weak, as swelling weakens the surrounding muscles.
With training try to listen to the the joint, if it flares up after 1 hour of jogging, trying and just do a 1/2 hour the next time, take you're time with it building it up slowly.
