Chronic Ankle Pain..... after all three surgeries

First let  me say I'm sick and tired of this and I refuse to give in to the pain.

I broke the cartilage in my left ankle clear through almost two years ago.  I had my last stitches and gave up my crutches 2 weeks ago. Being brave (or stupid) I went out walking... the pain became almost as bad as it was before. So I call the doc. He said it was to be expected. A woman in his office had similar ankle surgery too and it took 4-5 MONTHS for the pain to reduce. That is so not ok with me. I've sat on my ass long enough. I'm going to amp up my vitamins, take my other meds, get enough sleep, ice, heat, and so on. Oh gentle stretching and strengthening

4-5 MORE months   .....  mercy
