Undiagnosed Ankle Injurt

7 Years ago I got a hairline fracture in my foot and it still swells and hurts if I am on my feet too long or walk too much. I was wondering what can be done to fix my ankle?

you need to wear a cast to offload the fracture to allow it to heal appropiately.  otherwise, you can have a nonunion and you will continue to experience pain when standing.
