Broken Ankle and Soul

I received an Plate and 4 screws in my ankle to realign it with my tibia, and i fractured my fibula from a trampoline accident just last week. I was really looking forward to my wakeboard season, but i may be taking it easy to ensure i will have good ski season next year, as I will be living in Montana! Just curious if any of you have had pain because of plates and such in your ski boots, i may end up having to remold my liners i guess, but i think i'm more depressed about the situation the anything. Being stuck on the couch sucks... Im really hoping my ankle is feeling 100% for next ski season!

i broke my ankle and got 5 screws and a plate around sept, i forget the exact date. but man was ski season brutual. actually do physical therapy, i was too cheap to go to a proffesional and it really fucked my ski season. zero progression at all this year and was barely able to ride for more then 3 hours an outing cause the pain would be unbearable. just take it easy, and no matter what do not try to come back too early like i did. your just gonna injure it more. good luck broski and vibes

i broke my fibula and tore some tendons in my ankle and needed a plate and screws as well. Im still a couple of months away fro full recovery but I can say that watching a lot of TV and movies and reading a lot helped. I used the opportunity to get in  in touch with my inner nerd , watched all of battlestar galactica, read lord of the rings, read the inheritance cycle, and watched all of the miyazaki films, oh and some trailer park boys

nah its cool dude, I broke mine pretty bad, got a plate, a wire and 6 screws and I just got back from a week skiing for the first time since it happened (2.5 years). spent most my time in the park hitting kickers and its fine.  do your physio properly, and stretch it a lot. building the muscle back up is a pain though. arthritis later in life maybe but whatever
