[QUOTE="Karenchq, post: 1486395, member: 298654"] My surgeon told me that ankle and foot injuries are very difficult to heal because of so many bones and carrying the weight of our bodies, so they take a very long time to heal and are often never fully restored. I broke my ankle requiring a piece of sheared off bone to be removed. After 8 weeks with a boot, it had healed out of place and at that time noted that I had also broken my leg bone about 10 cm above the ankle which was not detected and set properly. That was 7 years ago and I still have problems with my ankle. There was nerve damage in the reconstruction and as it shifts around the missing section of bone it goes out of place which is quite painful until it realigns (sometimes many days later). It took about 9 months before I could do much activity. Jordi77 seems to have a similar time frame. I was worried that it wouldn't get better, but it has healed to about 70-80 percent and I now do very strenuous activity with it. Try to find the best surgeon possible and know that you are not alone in a long and often discouraging healing process. [/QUOTE]
