I had my ankle fusion in 2009. I was very active in tennis, and running.
Because you can not dorsiflex your ankle, it makes these activities difficult.
However, I walk and jog in the pool. I can go up stairs without difficulty but going down stairs is more difficult. Inclines are difficult. It took me 4 months before I could put weight on the ankle. You will not get ROM as that is what a fusion does. Yup my fused leg is a twig also, but it is the least of my worries, I can walk without PAIN. Hooray
Hang in it will all get better.
