broken ankle

This past MOnday I broke the non weight barring bone in my rt amkle... it was splinted in the er with instrcutions to see my fmaily dr. Today my dr. perscribed an aircast sport-stirrup. I am afraid of this course of action, my aunt just suffered a smiliar break and this stir-up was the LAST thing her Dr ordered, not the first. The instructons say to wear a show, how can I wriggle in to a tennis show when the break is only 3 days old? Help!
