Suggest Treatment For Ankle Fracture

You need to learn crutch walking
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you are not walking properly with crutches. I would suggest you to meet a physiotherapist and learn how to walk with walker/crutches. Hopping is not certainly right as it put so much load on shoulder. Not only this put you can fall again and damage your injured ankle.
One more option you have is to apply a walking cast. It is more thicker then a normal cast and it allows you to put weight so you do not need to jump.
I would also recommend you to take calcium and vitamin D3 regularly so that your bone become stronger and fracture heal faster.
For muscle pain you can take Tramadol after discussing with your doctor. You cal also use voletran ointment, and hot water fomentation.
Pattern of genetic inheritance of osteoporosis is not clearly known. So we are unable to define your risks of developing osteoporosis. However as I said I suspect improper walking technique as the cause of pain in your case.
I hope these measures will help you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
Thansks.
