Ok so, I was wondering if anyone has experience of a broken fibula and getting back into hockey. Well I very unfortunately broke both. yes both!. I was snowboarding and fell badly and twisted both my ankles and they fractured and I had to have surgery and had plates put in both ankles. It was around 9 weeks ago now and I am walking ok. I have tried my skates on to see what they felt like and because skates have to be quite tight it presses on the ankle bone where my plates are. I'm not sure if this pain is just the scar because they are relatively fresh still or the pain is being caused from the plate itself. If you have experience of anything similar to this id like to hear from you!.
