Hi guys. My situation I broke my ankle and had surgery on june30. I have 3screws and 1 metal plate.My first appointment with the foot doctor was 2 month later i complained of lots of netve pain so he kept my splint on . Basically i had the splint on for almost 3 month and a half. So my foot got stiff in a bad position when he tried to put the camboot he was not able to because my of my foot position. So he sends me to the PT.
Im working very hard on getting my ankle to move mind you no shoe. I'm on my 11th day therapy. I'm so afraid . My heel does not touch the floor when I'm standing yet. My foot looked like foot dropped. Although is looking a little better. It's been 5 month i can't walk yet 😪 normally ppl walk after 3 month. Anybody has a similar experience?
Plus i still feel the nerves tingling on my toes. I'm on 100mg gabapentin 4x a day.

@bostonian71 Yes it’s scary.Are you walking now? I had ankle surgery sept 18,2025. Been three months now and still not walking on my own. I still have pain and swelling even after an hour walking with crutches. Pain wakes me up in the night. PT is a slow process I’m discovering and I don’t feel much difference after 6 weeks going.

I have all the hardware fixing the three broken bones. It’s hard mentally isn’t it? Grateful for my husband being there for me .
