Hey Marc,
Glad you're on the mend. A friend of mine experienced the same problem
after a skiing injury a number of years ago. I'm not entirely sure what
the doctors told him about why it happened, but I do know he made a full
recovery and was only on blood thinners for a few weeks.

I had a fall on my KLR just over two weeks ago and broke my ankle.
I had no option but to ride home (50 kms on gravel, including a river
crossing, and then 180 kms on tar) Lucky it was my right ankle or I
wouldnt
have been able to change gears. Talk about a painful ride!
A few days after the first cast went on I developed pain in my calf, and
they diagnosed deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in my veins).
I spent five days in hospital with them jabbing me with stuff all the
time.
I'm out now, still on crutches for another month at least, plus I have
to
take Warferin to thin my blood for the next three months - bummer.
anyone else had a similar problem after an ankle break?
