Hi Anthony- It isn't unusual to have pain and swelling after a period of immobility. Your therapist should adjust your treatment based on your pain level. After this type of surgery, pain will hopefully decrease after time. You should stretch to tolerance and let pain be your guide. I'd recommend you work with your therapist to determine what exercises would be appropriate for you and how intense you should be perofrming them. Good luck!]]> Wed, 03 Dec 2008 10:48:23 +0000 http://www.cyberpt.com/ptforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=330&PID=353&title=swelling-after-ankle-surgery#353 http://www.cyberpt.com/ptforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=330&PID=346&title=swelling-after-ankle-surgery#346 Author: Vile384
