I broke my ankle and leg in October and had to have hardware put in. My ankle has one screw and two tightrope devices.
I’m at the point where I’m back to my normal routine aside from the one day a week I do physical therapy. I’m coming to realize that literally none of the shoes I own are not comfortable anymore. They all make my ankle feel worse and do not expand enough when my foot swells up.
Not sure exactly what your problem is but I had to switch to shoes that had flat heels after a knee injury. The elevated heel twisted my knee in a way that caused pain if I wore them for an extended period. Since then I buy only “zero-drop” shoes.
I wish flat shoes were good for me. I used to wear flat bottom shoes almost exclusively before my injury. Now they hurt my ankle really bad.
