Welcome to EmpowHer, and thank you so much for your question!
Can you give us a little more information?
How old are you?
What did your doctor say about recovery time?
Are you in physical therapy? What does your physical therapist tell you about recovery? Have they given you exercises to do?
Is your pain and stiffness confined just to the area right around the ankle?
Twelve weeks past surgery is not an unreasonable amount of time to heal something so integral to our bone structure as a foot or ankle. Bones mend slowly when compared to the rest of our body. If you'll get back to us with a bit more information, we'll be happy to research this for you and maybe we can give you a better idea of what to expect.
