fractured ankle

i fractured my ankle on June 15. my orthopedic did not feel comfortable putting me in a cast because i guess i was able to walk on it. So he put me in an air brace. it has been over 2 months and per my last office visit, the swellen went down, i am walking with very little limping but was told my ankle is still broken and to give it time to heal. But people have been telling me it's been too long. I kind of wigh i had a cast in the beginning. Should my doctor have cast my ankle? How long should I wait before considering an operation (which by the way, my doctor is also uncomfortable about me having surgery).

Plantar Fasciitis is caused by repetitive strain and is the most common cause of localized heel pain. It is an inflammation of the plantar fascia and is a clinical diagnosis based on a history and examination completed by a physician.
