This is my first proper fracture, x rays show break in the ankle and foot bone, but no major displacement so no surgery is needed, I’ll be casted when swelling reduce. After the cast I think ankle will be weaker and painful so will be even harder to exercise it. My doctor told I will be weight bearing 1 day after the cast is removed but I have doubts.
