i broke my ankle on 9 March and was initially told I needed surgery. After 2 weeks of waiting for surgery, it was x-rayed again and I was then told it was healing well and I did not need surgery. I had another X-ray last week and was told it had a lot of healing still to do and surgery could not be ruled out. I was told to wait a further 3 weeks and have another xray and hopefully it will have healed. I am still in my cast but yesterday my crutch slipped on some mud and I banged my foot on the ground. I am now in quite a bit of pain and don't know what to do. I desparately don't want surgery as I am a working mum. Has this happened to anyone else? What was the result?
I think you need to go to A&E rachael, it sounds like you may have damanged it. Mine has also been very slow to heal, but I haven't had bad pain since the break back in December.
A few years ago I had experienced a similar situation, in my case 2 days after the pain was gone and nothing append, so I think you must don't worry for now
Thanks for your comments. I'll leave it for now and see how I get on over the next few days
