-does not need a cast, just walking boot
-im a 21 years old
- i follow the paleo diet pretty strictly(low carb except for lots of veggies and moderate fruit, clean meat, no grains, and a good amount of fat from healthy clean sources and olive and cocount oils) along with the occasion carb refeed on a heavy lifting day
- i plan on increasing my diary intake slighty via cottage cheese.
- i supplement already with fish oil, antioxidant, multi vit, and pro biotic.
- i plan on continuing my upper body weight training.
- i also plan on starting to supplement with glucosamine/chondroitin even if studies haven't found much support of it. it cant hurt.

Looks like you got a good handle on it. * usually* fractures near a joint come with some degree of soft tissue injury I would suggest doing some ankle rehab, once the fracture has healed sufficiently.

Specifically the "alphabet writing" drill helps the ligament(s) heal faster and stronger.
