Problems with previously broken bone
I had a compound frecture in my left leg over three years ago. I have a rod a alot of screws in my leg, ankle, and knee. I also have a fallen arch in that foot now. I am still having problems after standing all day and walking on uneven ground. My ankle swells alot after working all day and is sometimes so painful I cannot walk the next day. Is it normal to still have all these problems 3+ years later? Is there anything I can do to resolve this?

Broken bones
a custom AFO(ankle foot orthosis) is probably your best answer. With the fallen arch and continued pain your injury must have been terrible.
