I messed up the ankle that I had surgery on 3 years ago.
It's bruised up badly and I can't walk.
What do you think he will do?
Cast, boot? Gosh I hope not.

No x-rays done yet, going to get them done today at the ortho.
Im already on crutchs and have been for a week. As well as an air cast, which hurts like heck to wear.

Have you had an x-ray since you messed it up? Is it broken?
Depending on how bad it's broken (or sprained) you might get a redo-operation
cast
backslab / splint
orthopaedic boot
or if it's very mild (a mild sprain) then you might just get a socky kind of tubi-grip ankle support and crutches.
Take some pain relief medication.

Amputation is possible, but don't worry. Disability pays well. jk gl
