Could Following A Diet Prevent Buildup Of Scar Tissue After A Surgery To Remove Metal Work From Ankle?
Hello
I have recently had a an operation on my ankle to remove metalwork, and to scope the joint of scar tissue. This will make it my 5th (and hopefully final) operation since i broke my ankle 6 years ago. The other ops were for different corrections
I am wondering if there is anything i should increase in my diet while i am in this recovery stage, this most recent op was 2 weeks ago. I have a balanced diet as it is.
Also is there anything i can do to prevent the build up of scar tissue in the joint?
Look forward to hearing from you
Kind regards

The only thing that you could do is to get your ankle moving early. Aggressive physiotherapy as soon as possible might help you with this.
