    Brief Medical History Overview

    Age: 29, Female, Presenting Problem Since: 8 weeks, Symptom Behaviour: Getting better... sort of...!, Symptoms Worse (24hr Behaviour): always very stiff in the morning, but then the ankle swells during the day, Aggravating Factors:: movement... any sort, really., Easing Factors:: putting it up, Investigations: Xrays, surgery, have attached to the post., No Diabetes, No history of High Blood Pressure, No Medications, No Osteoporosis, No Hx of Cancer, No Unexplained Weight Loss, No Bowel/Bladder issues, Other Info: Grade III chrondomalacia in the the right knee (same side as ankle break)

    bimalleolar ankle fracture recovery and recommendations!

    Hi, am desperately hoping for some advice / assistance. 8 weeks ago, I suffered a bimalleolar ankle fracture on my right ankle. I was in a walking boot for 6 weeks, post - surgery, and have now started walking about with just 1 crutch.

    I've attached the first lot of xrays showing the breaks themselves, and then the first xrays post-op, which was about 6 weeks ago. I have another lot of xrays in another 3 weeks, then my surgeon has advised I should be fine.

    However, it definitely doesn't feel fine! My mobility is extremely limited (probably not helped by the fact that I have grade III chrondomalacia in my right knee, so the loss of muscle tone has not helped that either). The surgeon said that I shouldn't really need physio, as I'm only 29 and was fit before hand. However... I can't see this getting right on it's own, particularly as my knee is now feels 'out' aswell.

    I'd much appreciate any advice you could offer on recovery time or suggested activities, and also if any of you are based in Copenhagen, Denmark. I'm Australian, but moved here a year ago and a recommendation on a good physio for this type of injury in CPH would be very much appreciated.
