When should you stop rehab and visit the doctor again?

So you've spent the last 4 weeks waiting on your ankle to get better or you've been working diligently to rehab your ankle using the program your doctor recommended or using my program at Fastrehab.com ,but you aren't getting the results you expect and want.

Your ankle still hurts, is tender, or has limited movement.

Every ankle rehab program should provide results in 6 weeks or less. Some programs help you get results faster. But if you are not back to almost 100% within 6 weeks, then you may have underlying structural problems with your ankle. It would be best to make an appointment to see your ortho doctor as quickly as possible.

In my experience, stress fractures often take a little bit of time to show up on an x-ray. I have no idea why, but many of my friends have twisted ankles or had strains on their legs or arms that initially did not show a stress fracture had occurred on x-rays, but when an x-ray was taken later due to ongoing pain, the stress fracture was easily seen.

Once you have visited the doctor and confirmed that you either don't have or do have a stress fracture, then you need to start planning how you will rehab your ankle once you get it out of the cast or immobilizing method.

Almost all doctors will put you on some sort of rehab program after the fracture has healed. Not all programs work the same in rehabbing the ankle. Most of the programs last anywhere from 4-6 weeks with marginal results.
