thats due to swelling Andy ...and i know exactly what your going thru...
So Sorry to hear of your Mishap...
i truely think it's time for you to buy a boat or a kayak .
see if you can loosen the boot.... without de-moblizing the ankle.
meaning the Doc wants it imobilized to heal
but you may need some room to
breathe down there or your circulation gets cut off....from
swelling
i remember when i had a cast and my dog was
"so glad to see me" she body slammed my cast
with a side ways collision... Holy Moly! It swelled up and
the pain was as bad as having a kidney stone which
is comparable to a woman having a baby.
anyways back to you.... get your swelling down by getting that foot way elevated higher than your torso and take some
advil
because that reduces swelling much MUCH better than percs...
percs will make ya "crazy angry and volitile" in some cases
and/ or make you constipated too.... so take them only as long
as you need to because they are very addicting.
not good 4ya !
also:
take an old pair of sweat pants or the sleaves of an old sweat shirt
and cut them to make "crutch wraps" for extra cushion !
