Hi,
I fractured my right ankle on July 14th and was just wondering what rehabilitation i need to be doing on it as it still has pain when i point my toes.

Here is what the scans showed:

"There is fairly maked soft tissue swelling over the lateral malleous. There is an incomplete undisplaced traverse fracture through the distal fibula. The ankle mortis is in normal alignment."

I never got it put in a cast and never saw a physiotherapist, but did go back and have another scan on the 27th August and here is what was said:

"The previously demonstrated lucency through the lateral malleous is not seen on todays examination and there is a significant reduction in the degree of soft tissue swelling. The appearances suggest sound fracture union. The ankle mortise remains in satisfactorily alignment."

The main thing i was wondering is what i need to do to help rehabilitate the ankle as it is still sore and i cannot point my toes straight without pain, this is evident when trying to kick a pillow like a football and that hurts pretty bad.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Josh
