Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

Intra-articular ankle fracture can give pain .comfirm on x ray.

Some nutrients which are important for recovery after surgery include vitamin C, folic acid,
calcium, vitamin D, VIT B12.so supplements of these nutrients will lead to early recovery.

So diet for early recovery includes eating fresh fruits and fruit juices, green salads and vegetables.
Diet rich in protein will lead to early muscle building, so you can take pulses, cheese etc

Avoid biking, , swimming, etc
