I broke my ankle and leg in October and had to have hardware put in. My ankle has one screw and two tightrope devices.
I’m at the point where I’m back to my normal routine aside from the one day a week I do physical therapy. I’m coming to realize that literally none of the shoes I own are not comfortable anymore. They all make my ankle feel worse and do not expand enough when my foot swells up.
If my incredibly accomplished ankle surgeon/podiatrist wanted me to have special shoes, he would have told me lol. He told me that I have to figure out what feels good for me since every case is different. I also have some bad nerve damage on the left side of my leg from the injury and surgery. Can hardly feel anything other than the hardware. Numbness goes from the bottom of my foot to my knee. It’s not helping shoes feel good either lol.
