Good idea the walking cast. I see that you are a person who trusts only the MD and the Western type medicine. However, I'm now being very tedious. You still have some time before you go to.....ask for some physical therapy at the hospital your MD is connected with. Or, even better, find a good experienced massage therapist to treat The Ankle. You will have to go for more than one session.
I once had a sprained ankle. A talented massage therapist massaged all the pain out of it whereupon I could walk when before the treatment I could not. Granted my sprain was not as bad as yours. I fear damaged ligaments in your case which take quite a while to heal. Ask your friends too besides just us out there in Live Journal Land.
Alternative therapies: Yay!I suppose mentioning acupuncture is too scary. But a good acupunturist is worth his or her weight in gold. One needs the real thing, by the way, not the not much experience type treatment one receives by a chiropractor. The real thing involves I believe going to school for four years plus memorizing around 20,000 acupuncture points. Plus the knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine. A lot of the master teachers are still Chinese. Our Western doctors are by and large coming to accept acupuncture as a valid alternative treatment.
