need advice/tips!

hi everyone! this is my first broken bone so bear with me. on 05/02 i fell down the stairs. went to emerg and was told it was a sprain or achilles tear. went for more imaging and ruled out the achilles tear. i got more imaging from my GP which showed a nondisplaced posterior malleolar fracture. mind you i’ve been in an air cast this entire time with little to no guidance from any doctor. i finally saw ortho today and had even more x-rays done which confirmed the tibial fracture as well as a deltoid ligament injury.

just looking for some advice or tips on how to make life easier cause i am struggling!!!

edit: i do have crutches as well as a knee scooter but my good leg constantly cramps up from using it so much to boost myself.

edit #2: i should say, ortho has recommended conservative management and is referring me to physiatry so i am hoping to hear from them in the next week or so.
