Sweeling of foot and ankle
(3 discussions)
I have a broken leg with some damage to the ankle.
My doctor has put an external metal fixation device on until the swealing goes down and he can do surgery.
I am supposed to ice when possible.
One of the pins runs right through my heel.
Do you have an attachment that I can use.

I am sorry I can not offer you any advice. The doctor who put the external fixator in should have a suggestion.

I had an ankle fusion Feb l6,2015. It is still real sore and swollen. How long will it be that way? Any special shoes that I should wear? My doctor says I can begin to put weight on it but it is painful but I keep trying to walk on it.
