    Are you using crutches? Does it really hurt to walk on it? If so I would recommend crutches to take some of the weight off it for now. It takes human tissue 6-8 weeks to recover from an injury and you are only 1/2 of the way. Continue to use ice for pain and elevate for swelling. You will have pain for a while…hopefully it will go away.
