I'm 19 years old and I broke my ankle (fibula) roughly 6 weeks ago playing soccer. I had a few screws inserted and a plate. I thought I was getting the fixator screw taken out today, but they didn't. My wound where the cut me open is infected so I'm on anti-biotics to treat that. Should I be worried? My leg is also really swollen so they've told me to keep it elevated for a week to reduce the swelling. Are there any suggestions that people can offer to help me with this? Also, the doctor told me I could 50% weight bear, but never actually explained what that is. So that's what I really want to know.
Any help would really be appreciated.
Hope you can answer my questions.
