Anyone who had broken ankle before? How long before you can fit into ski boots again?
People I talked to say broken ankle hurts quite a long time even after it heals. Doctor/PT are not willing to predict, but they say it can be as long as a year and a half!
I broke mine middle of last season. It's now well enough that I can walk normally just fine. But it still hurts quite a bit around the bony part of the ankle, especially if I happened to bump into a chair's leg etc. So the thought of jamming it into ski boots and controlling skis on uneven surfaces brings chills down my spine!
Doctor & PT said there's nothing medical to prevent me from skiing. But if it's going to hurt like that for a year or more, I can't see myself skiing much next season. This weekend is the deadline I either renew my Epic pass or let it go (including the credit carried over from previous year due to the injury). I'm inclined not to renew it, as I don't have a "out" if I end up not able to get into my boots without pain.
