i apologise for not reading this thread sooner. i broke and dislocated my ankle kiteboarding. No weight bearing for 6 weeks. the cast came of at 6 weeks, rehab started the next day (for 2 weeks). at 7 weeks i was on a kite board--for a very short 20 minute session. my leg from knee to my ankle swelled the size of my thigh. kept up rehab, ice, elevation for a good while. some swelling for at least a year. virtually pain/swelling free at 2 years. i still get an ankle throb occasionally--8 years later. landing wrong on a jump hurts sometimes. about 99% good as new.
