I've fractured bones in both ankles multiple times, I know your pain.
My worst break was when I broke a bone along the top of my foot, the bone was almost poking through the skin, and yet when they did the x-rays, no break showed up. Despite clearly seeing that, yes, a bone is broken and not in the place it should be, they wouldn't do anything besides wrap it in an ace bandage and give me crutches. Two days later, after my pain pills kicked in, I pushed the bone back in place myself, and, ~SHOCKINGLY~ the bruising (which had been almost solid black up until then) almost instantly faded to barely visible. 🙄

I hope you heal quickly
I was gonna do a bad pun and say "I hope you HEEL quickly", but social awkwardness won over. 🤦🏻♀️

That's US healthcare, especially in my state. And multiple times because 1) I am the biggest klutz in the southern US, and 2) once you fracture or break a bone, it becomes weaker whenever it heals. My ankles were already weak to begin with, and each time I'd get hurt, it just deteriorated the bones more
