Burning Sensation, History Of Ankle Surgery. Laceration Done. Is The Scar Tissue Growing Now?

Hi, I have an old ankle injury. On my left ankle I had a laceration under my inner ankle bone. I had forty stitches inside and out, and I remember the doctor said I cut my artery. Anyway, I am getting burning sensations that go up my leg. I find that pressure seems to help, but getting up in the morning I can't walk right away. Do you think this many scar tissue growing?

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
You had an old ankle injury, laceration done, you had cut artery, and you had 4o stitches, now you are getting burning sensation that go up your leg, difficulty in early morning to walk.
It appears that there is no relation with the previous operation. If there is any relation with that you must be having it all the day , alike or more in the evening.
It appears to be the arthritic changes in the ankle joint. The stiff ness of the stitches may increase the pain already existed.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I advise you to avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
