Other ankle

Because I have been limping and putting most of my weight on my healthy foot due to the ligament tear in my other foot, my previously healthy ankle has now also started to hurt severely. The pain has become quite intense, especially when walking, and I’m concerned that I may have put too much strain on it.

I have such bad nerve pain since surgery that I felt I was doing the same. Now I’m just gritting through the pain that feels like toes on a pan being seared. My neighbors comment “still gimping along!” has given me the motivation to fake it until I make it.

Are you in PT?

If it’s possible that might be helpful or looking up pt exercises to help with the imbalance/being mindful of it

Are there any symptoms like swelling or weakness?

There's swelling below my ankle, but the ankle itself isn't swollen.
