hey, so i broke my ankle just six months ago and i tried to ski in january but i could ski really chill and i had to rest like for two days cause my ankle hurted like crazy after skiing...now after six months it still hurts sometimes and i feel that i don't have the same movement as i used to have, but the doctor said that my ankle should be ok after six months from the injury...so i want to know if any of you broke their ankle and how was recovery and skiing after the injury. (i went skiing to tahoe in january i still have to wait 3 months for my season to start)

I broke my ankle while skiing in April 2008 and have skied 80 days since. Yeah it hurts and it doesn't have the same range of motion, but thats not gonna stop me from skiing.

If you screamed, "MY ANKLES ARE BROKEN," nobody would have believed you. You would have been left on the hill to be eaten by the yetis that come out of the doors in the side of the jumps at night.

for serious.

from experience. not with ankles, but knees.
and sometimes, if you're lucky, they'll give you these electrodes that make your leg muscles wiggle. always a good time.
But really, if you're having trouble with range of motion PT's know their shit, and they like to get you stronger than you were before you got injured so it doesn't happen again. I'd say ask people around your area for some good names and go try it out. Totally worth the time, money and effort. I'll probably be doing most of my physio for the rest of my life.
