NipperCat posted an update in the group Trimalleolar Fracture Advocate Network
Back again about my ankle rehabilitation after my trimalleolar fracture of October 20, 2015. I can walk again, but my ankle keeps popping out of place. Going to the chiropractor every one to two weeks to have the ankle reset properly is a pain, in addition to it being a temporary solutions! Does anyone have any ideas on how I can stabilize my ankle and make it stay in place for more than a week at a time?
Thanks.

Yes, there is KT specialized elastic sports tape for pain relief and support, and there are ACE bandages, also a myriad of stabilization devices available. What I’m looking for is a way to keep the ankle properly seated where it belongs AFTER the tape is removed! Constant taping or wrapping the ankle is not the long term solution I’m looking for. Medicare $$$ ran out, so I’m on my own PT program along with the help of YouTube and WeHeal!

Hello nippercat and thank you so much for joining WeHeal! I am so sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your ankle! I also have severe issues with my ankle and am desperately looking for solutions! I have severe Avascular Necrosis (Dying bone) throughout my legs, and the ankles are the biggest problem! My hips and knees are all titanium now but they do not have a fix for the ankle. Maybe together we can find a solution??
