i fractured my ankle on June 15. my orthopedic did not feel comfortable putting me in a cast because i guess i was able to walk on it. So he put me in an air brace. it has been over 2 months and per my last office visit, the swellen went down, i am walking with very little limping but was told my ankle is still broken and to give it time to heal. But people have been telling me it's been too long. I kind of wigh i had a cast in the beginning. Should my doctor have cast my ankle? How long should I wait before considering an operation (which by the way, my doctor is also uncomfortable about me having surgery).
