Oh, I'd actually missed the 200mg ibuprofen comment at the end of your op... They do make 800mg that your doc could call in, or alternatively you could take up to 4 of the 200s at once twice a day. I've found those to be useful over the years for my various breaks, sprains, the time I dislocated/separated/tore rotator cuff, and aches from rupturing one, and partially tearing another, ligament in the same ankle I broke once and sprained several times afterwards. Aleve also works wonders man once the initial pain subsides
Side note- my ankle became permanently weak after I broke it at 13. I've seriously rolled/sprained my ankle walking in a straight line because it's still, 22 years later, so weak. So do be prepared for that possibility
