I will have the syndesmotic screws removed from my ankle next week and I want to know what to expect. I am not being put to sleep and I want to know if it will be uncomfortable and how long will I be non-weight baring. My ankle is sore and very stiff and I want to know how long it will take to get all of my mobility back. I tore the ligaments in February and I have been in an aircast for 3 months now.
