I had ankle ligament surgery and I put weight on it after a week, it hurts, what should I do?

i put weight on it because i fell off my bed and it is sore to stand up for a long time. I’m not sure if its just bruised or i messed something that they did in my surgery. i did not fall very hard. Should i be worried?

i will be totally frank. go back to your doctor dont wait just call and go in. is there a reason you havent done that?

i did, they just said ice and elevate.

ok you actually saw your surgeon and he or she said to ice and elevate. i encourage you to do that. if your in pain take tylenol or ibuprofin. its scary when you have surgery then you have a fall. i did a similisr deal when i had my ankle repaired with plates and screws. settle in and ice for a little then take off and go back to it and do keep it elevated. sonsorry your dealing with this. if not better in a few days i would guve them a call

do you think something may have been messed up from the surgery?
