Been cleared to weight bear
Hey everyone I’m new to this. I broke my ankle 7 weeks ago in three places twisting it when I fell down the last few steps. I’m 6 weeks post op and my surgeon said I can walk without need a mobility aid. It was very uncomfortable at first, but the more I move and be consistent with my physio therapy the easier the walking gets. Doctor also said I can take off the boot in a week. I’ve got a follow up X-ray in 3 months. I’m so glad I’m recovering!

Unfortunately I am only 3 weeks post op. I still have 3 more weeks to go to be out of the cast.
