I broke my ankle 9 days ago..have a “walking cast” ..am elevating/ice several times a day..
Should I still have alotof swelling/bruising.. Do I need to stay off it more.. Thanks so much debbie
Yes you should elevate and yes you should limit your activity. Swelling is going to occur the more you use it. Gravity is your enemy. This will go on for a number of weeks depending on your age,health, level of activity, etc.
Good Luck.
