I hope to hike the AT in 2005, but I'm concerned about an ankle I broke about two years ago. I sometimes still feel some soreness when I get up in the morning, and I'm afraid that the stress of a long distance hike will cause the ankle to flare up at some point.

Has anyone hiked the trail after such an injury? Any advice on how to prevent problems, or perhaps a good web site for reference?

TIA for help.
