I'm currently being treated for a lateral femoral condyle fracture and wearing a long knee brace without surgery. Just got my MRI reports. Wondering if there are any specific exercises, suggestions, or special meds that could help speed up recovery? Really want to get back on my feet faster.

I'm really worried because I hit my ankle pretty hard on something metal, and now it really hurts when I walk or put any pressure on it. The pain is mostly right under the ankle bone. Should I be concerned about this type of injury, and what should I do to help it heal?
