What Type Of Treatment And Exercise Is Recommended For Broken Ankle?
Hi, I recently broke my ankle (a ligament on the outside broke off a bit of bone with it). It has been 3 weeks and the swelling is almost gone. I am wondering if I should keep resting it and keeping it fairly immobile, or if I should start rehabilitating it, aka doing exercises to strengthen my ankle. thanks!

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, actually or ideally if this is bone and ligament injuries then one need to wait at least 4 to five for physiotherapy, still you can have word with orthopedic surgeon for better advise because it all depends upon the exact nature of injuries, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
