Hello new here,
Was just looking for a second opinion on my ankle, after injuring after a bike crash last week an Xray at the local ER reveled nothing, but the doctor put me in a semi cast because I showed tenderness at a growth plate. Today I went in to have the cast removed but recieved a special boot instead. I was told to wear it only while walking, when I asked what it was for they said so you dont injur your ankle even more. I agreed without putting much though into it. But now at home I am begging to wonder if this boot is only if I trip(or otherwise fall to injur it even more) or is it supposed to control the way my ankle moves?

Thanks for any input
