How To Cure Ankle Pain After The Surgery?
Hi, I have broken my ankle and had surgery 4 weeks into my initial break. I am 3 weeks from surgery and have just had a new cast on. I have been suffering from painful cramps in my ankle at night for the past week. Is there anything that will help the pain?

hello,
you need to follow the following
1 keep limb elevated on pillow, when at rest,
2 Do not walk too much even if your doctor says you can walk, and when ever not walking keep limb elevated.
3 You have a long way to go in rehab, and this will demand your maximum efforts,
Analgesics SOS.
