I am 3 months post ORIF on my ankle. I wear compression socks & I keep it elevated 23 hours a day, ice it. My biggest issue is what I call “loading”. Anytime I am off my feet for more than 20 minutes, and go to stand up, my ankle joint hurts like h@ll. If I stand there for 30-45 seconds eventually I can walk semi normal. It’s still tight, and my dorsiflexion is limited, but I can walk fairly decent. Does anyone experience that “loading” pain and how long does it take for that to subside?
