Hello sir, I can understand your pain and stress. Broken ankle need to be either in plaster or need surgery. I hope you have done the x ray and shown to orthopaedic surgeon. My suggestion to you is to get operated if needed. As broken ankle can some time lead to difficulty in walking in long term. Do not try to walk on it. Keep it over pillow when you are lying on bed.
