Ouch, ouch, DJ. I think like you do. My first concern when I broke my ankle was grateful for shaven legs on that day. And, matching undergarments LOL!

Kathy's info is right. The splint is to monitor swelling. I'll ask my daughter as well as to what to look out for and when it would be necessary to take your leg to A&E before Monday. Like MRed's brother, my daughter is an ortho-trauma specialist.

Are you taking anything for pain in the meantime? Praying that the injury heals soon and that your leg is itch-free.
