5 Tips to Quickly Recover from Ankle Surgery

Going through ankle surgery can be overwhelming, but recovery from the procedure can be a much more daunting task! A short recovery may seem like a lot of time if you don’t know how to care for your recovering ankle. Here are some tips to get you up and going at the soonest time possible.

• Keep off your ankle. Your doctor will most likely require you to stay non-weight bearing – and it is important for you to stay that way until you are told to do otherwise.

• Get rid of the clutter. Finally, this is about the right time to keep stuff away and make more room for you to move around. A messy home can be a hazard, especially to the individual with a healing ankle.

• Physical activities must be kept at a reasonable level. Don’t stress yourself too much. Healing requires a lot of energy, so instead of doing strenuous activities when you don’t really have to, get plenty of rest.

• Eat healthy. Even when you are not recovering from ankle surgery, this is a must. Don’t make your recovery as an excuse to pig out and satisfy all your cravings. That box of donuts will not actually help your ankle heal properly.

• Take good care of yourself. This is your best bet at healing quickly. Be conscious about what you are eating and how much sleep you are getting.
