I broke 3 bones in my ankle April 2010. I had to have surgery & had 1 plate and 11 screws put in my ankle. It has now been 3 months since my injury & I am still having alot of swelling with my ankle. My doctor has me wearing a compression stocking to keep the swelling down & he also has me going to rehab to get the muscles moving around to help with the swelling. It's just gonna take some time with this type of injury for you to fully recover. My doctor told me it would take a full year before I would start feeling back to normal. I have had so many people tell me that I will have swelling for the next year or two. I get my boot off in two days and begin to start walking on it again. I didn't think I'd ever get to this point but am so excited to be able to start getting my normal life back. I know I still have a long ways to go before I am fully recovered and the swelling totally is gone. Hope that I helped answer your question.
