Ouch!! No advice other than definitely give it time.
My sister got a broken ankle as a cross country runner from running in the wrong pair of shoes. Her coach didn't think it was anything and she has a high pain tolerance, so she just kept going and ended up with a HUGE fracture and an ankle that still bothers her today.
Get better soon!

Wishing you a smooth healing process!
I haven't used a kneeling walker, but I have had an injury where I had to re-learn how to walk. (A kneeling walker would not have been appropriate for my injury) Step one: practice shifting weight to my injured side. I would guess that's the point of the kneeling walker -- you can keep using your muscles on your injured side from the knee up, while the lower leg is healing. Hopefully the PT people will weigh in as well ...2014 Bobbin Bramble / Brooks B67
