I broke my ankle a few months back, my Dr didn't require me to go to rehab since I do not have insurance, but gave me some exercises to do at home. Does anyone have any other ideas?

I serverely sprained my ankle last year. Didn't break the bone but tore several ligaments which is even worse. My advice to you is to wear a protective ankle brace as much as possible. Even you you have shoes on. Avoid pressure on the ankle as much as possible. Gentle exercise like your doctor told you is best. And you have to give it a lot of time to heal.
