Is Burning Sensation In The Ankle While Recovering From A Fracture Normal?
Hi, I am recovering from a tibia and fibula fracture. It s been 4 weeks since I got out of a cast. I can walk now with one crutch or sometimes none. Few days ago, I started feeling discomfort in my ankle. It burns up sometimes and it swells a little. Is this normal??
