Ankle Soreness

Dear All,

Just wondering how much soreness to expect when doing rehab on an ankle injury. Fractured Lateral Malleolus, undisplaced and uncomplicated. In Air Cast for 5 weeks, then begin motion and exercise. I'm surprised by the constant soreness all over my ankle, in my toes, etc...

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on it all, I don't mind a bit of pain and soreness, but I'm on week 6, almost week 7, just wondering how much more of this there is.

Thanks
HCC

Difficult to tell. Is it swelling, muscle soreness, joint pain. Pain caused by exercise, weight bearing etc.?

Pain at this stage is expected, but should be managed as best as possible.
