Try birkenstocks, I broke my ankle in september 05 and it seems to be the only shoe that my feet feel really supported in at the moment. Other than that you probably need some good trainers. \nI also use an ankle aupport too.

orthotics. But if you feel like you need them, you should see a podiatrist to ensure a proper fit.

If you hurt it somehow and it is swollen then you might have broke your ankle but if you can walk on it good then take you some Mortin that should help

Well, you just need TIME.  Got any shoes that are too big...or borrow some...or send a family member to Target to buy some really soft  black slippers that look kinda like boots and will  be  barely noticable.  don't know of anything to speed up healing.

You can probably just cruise by Hermes after hours ...I do believe that they will do anyhting for Oprah now ...\n\nActually I think you are looking for the New Balance WW742WL - Women's Athletic Walking Shoe...They are available in several locations & websites. I have included a couple of websites in the sources

While your ankle is recovering, try stationary biking. It is good cardio and works your legs without the risk of re-injuring your weakened joint.  Also develop a circuit of weightlifting--arms, legs and abs.  Those machines are designed to have very little, if any, impact on your ankles.  \nIt is so important to rehab your ankle though!  If you don't you may have problems with that ankle for many years down the road.  Walk on it as much as the pain and swelling will allow, and every day do all those exercises with the resistance bands (you can get them from a doctor or physical therapist).  Remember to ice for 15 minutes after each workout and I'm sure you'll be back on your two feet in no time!

I broke my little toe once.  I could tell it was broken because there was VERY strong sharp pain whenever I touched it or tried to walk.  I went to the E.R., and they gave me a "walking cast" which is basically a boot that I could take on and off.  It has a rounded sole so that you can walk comfortably without putting any pressure on the broken bone.  I did not need crutches, thank GOODNESS, but I had to wear the boot for a month.  It only cost me about $75 without insurance (that's not counting x-rays though... I got those for free through my college health center.)  You should go to the hospital.  Good luck!

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and believe it or not we go through first aid training. I am also St John Ambulance trained so when i tell you to go to the hospital for an X Ray you should believe me. Many complications can arise from a break that is not treated.If you foot is broken you will have a very large swelling, it will be very painfull and you not be able to move to move your toes very easily.There a 3 types of fractures-open-closed and complicated.If it isn't broken then keep an ice pack on it to reduce the swelling and ease the pain and the inflammation. Wintergreen ointment will not help, you need 'witch hazel' lotion or lavender oil 3 drops in 5ml of olive oil.(unless your skin is broken) And keep the foot up for a few days.\n\nGloria (BSYA)

Acupuncture. I play tennis proffecionally . trust me, I know it sounds illogical, but it realy helps. It also helped me heal faster and completely recover from a full ankle replacement

the bone will heal fine on its own, even stronger than before.\n\nsadly, your ligaments can only be repaired in surgery, sometimes not even then.\n\ni had to give up skateboarding because i neglected my ankles, so be safe. give it time and take the right steps to healing properly.

I'm not a runner. I'm a nurse. I broke my 5th metatarsal twice. I just had to rest the foot. It didn't even have much pain.

Nike Shox are not the best support shoe if you plan on using them for running or any exercise involving running. There are better shoes out there that are better for you style of feet. They are best for a walking around shoe at most.

Not a lady, and never had plates inserted, but I have had an ankle injury that lingered for months. About 10 years ago, I twisted my ankle while running in dress shoes to my commuter bus for work. It wasn't broken; just a bad sprain. However, I found out that a sprain can be worse than a break. It literally hurt me for five months. I couldn't put full weight on it and was limping around the entire time before the pain went completely away. In high school, I had a similar type of ankle sprain from playing football, and again it took a few months before it completely went away. \n\nUnfortunately, ankles are very delicate and heal very slowly because we are constantly putting weight on them. They do get better, eventually, but it's agonizing going through it. Not sure if the discomfort of the plates/screws will ever go away. But tell your friend to hang in there, and do the treatments and therapy as the doctors have prescribed, which should help significantly.

Usually they put you in those cute wooden soled sandles.  Long term pain is quite commen when breaking a foot bone  because it's one of those things you always use, tus prolonging the healing process.

Rest Ice Compression Elevation Stabalization-- RICES the old standby regimen. You have to do all of these things or your ankles won't heal. Also use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as naproxen or ibuprofen. If the sprains are severe enough, you might even need crutches. You should probably go to an orthopedist or sports medicine doctor to figure out exactly what is best in your situation. Good luck! Don't let this get you down!
