I broke my ankle 07/31/2025 and had ORIF surgery 08/07/2025. I made really good recovery quickly and I completed physical therapy back in November where I had gotten back into light jogging. However now that it’s May 2026, I still experience a lot of irritating sharp pain in my ankle from the most random foot placements or even when I’m just sitting. I’ve slowly and progressively gotten back into heavy weightlifting, I’ve even started to run again, with my brace of course, but it’s the smallest moves that tweak/irritate what I think are the ligaments in my ankle?
And so I was just curious of others experience with being several months post surgery and what that long term recovery looked like for you. I had two fractures and it wasn’t that intense of a break but I still have 4 screws. How long until you stopped having these pain/did it ever go away?
