Woman, there is no doubt you will wear heels again. I broke my leg and ankle in January. I started walking around the beginning of April and was riding my horses again. Be careful. Now that you're bipedial again your ankle still doesn't have its own strength yet. It may take a whole year to two for complete recovery. Ankles will always swell. Continue with ice and elevation whenever you can.

I slipped in the mud and re-broke part of my leg. I was careless and as soon as I could walk I wanted to run! Take care! You will be wearing heals again, just be careful!

It takes a full year for your bones to heal. Have you gone to physical therapy ?
Right now, do the best you can to heal properly. You will be able
To wear heals again, but this is a crucial time for you now to overstress it because you can have life long limitations if it doesn't heal properly.
Massage, PT and really Good footware.
Elevate your leg when it is swollen.
It swells because there is an inflammatory process of bone rebuilding going on and it will go on for some time because bone remodeling takes more than a few months
Best wishes

I broke my ankle in January by slipping on ice- have a plate and 5 screws. The doctor says the bones have healed well but I get terrible swelling as soon as I am on the leg for a short time and occasionally have pain. Elevating the leg does not seem to bring down the swelling, neither does icing. Any suggestions? I can only wear runners.

Have you tried wearing compression stockings ?
