How long will I have to wear a boot for a fractured ankle?
You’ll probably feel mild pain and swelling for 6 to 12 months after your ankle injury. The boot should be worn to support your ankle when you’re standing and walking for the first 4 weeks, although this can vary from person to person. You can usually take the boot off at night, though.
