Question: I broke my ankle on the outer bone and sprained my whole foot really bad awhile back. At first I thought it was just a sprain and then I walked on it 2 weeks later and felt something give. I was then not putting pressure on it but walking on crutches. Then about 2 weeks later I fell and jammed the knee on that same leg into the tile floor. After another week I was concerned because then when I would try to take a shower even though I was sitting and not standing it would swell and get dark pink but each time got better. I was concerned though and finally went to the med clinic and they x-rayed and said it was broke and severely sprained. They told me to just keep staying off of it putting no pressure on it at all. They gave me a boot. He said no pressure on it at all for 4 weeks. I did that faithfully. Then when I took the boot off it was very sore which I expected since it had been immobile for so long. I am putting pressure on it now but there is a spot under my ankle bone that hurt when I walk and I cannot walk without crutches relieving some pressure. I think it is getting better but I felt by now I should be able to walk on it. I stretch my foot and work it constantly. There is no pain except when I try to walk with my full weight on it. I don't know if I should go back or just keep doing what I am doing.

Thank you! I was concerned.
