I had a clean break of the medial malleolus about an inch up from the bottom. It was reset with two screws in from the bottom. Standard procedure from what I can tell. All the connective tissue was injured too, but the one still bothering me most is the tibialis posterior tendon. That means it's hard to flex up on my toes. Plus the fast twitch muscles are still atrophied. And yes, swelling. There's also a nerve tear apparently on top of the joint and the top of my big toe is numb. I have heard the one year projection from everyone. It's coming along slowly, but I occasionally push too hard and aggravate it and have to back off. Cycling, elliptical, and stair stepping seem helpful. And I just started rowing again. That's feeling pretty good.
Thanks for your input.
