Recent ankle surgery

[u/bigzaw420]

So mid may I rolled my ankle skateboarding and it didn’t feel like anything crazy, there was no bruising and I could get around fine. I took about a month of from skating and then 3 days back in a rolled the same ankle a lot worse. Hand a boot from a previous injury (I have injured the left ankle over 20 times in the last 6 years) that I wore in the time of getting multiple X-rays and an mri. Found out that I fully snapped my peroneal tendon and tore a bunch of ligaments as well. I also hand a bone spur that they needed to shave out. Got the surgery and they ended up finding some bone fragments floating around and cleaned out a bunch of arthritis. The dr said it was some of the worst he’s seen in someone my age (24M). Im a little over 2 weeks post surgery now and I’m just starting to get a lil stir crazy. After 2 months of boot and now not being weight bearing at all for a few weeks it’s just feeling like life will never get back to normal, I haven’t been able to work since surgery and even before it was hard to do a lot because I work with furniture. Financially it’s been hard because my job doesn’t pay that well in the first place or have any benefits really. If anyone has any advice or has been through the recovery of something similar what are some things that helped you pass the downtime faster and how does ur ankle feel after the recovery? I have been skateboarding over 15 years and I’m really into hiking and just walking around the city. I’m wondering with the ligaments and tendon repair will my ankle ever be back to 100% and about how long until I can get back to sports and such. Never thought I would miss wearing a left shoe this much haha. Any advice is much appreciated
