Pain In Left Leg While Standing. Undergone Osteomylitis Surgery. Recommendations?
Hello, I am having pain when i stand or walk in my left leg. It feels like pain in my tibia. I just went through Osteomylitis surgery with a bone graft last April. All in all i had 5 surgeries in five months. I was off work 6 months. I have been back to work about one month and now i am having leg pain again. I am starting to worry. I have called my surgeon and left a message.

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Your pain in the leg after being treated for osteomyelitis could be due to reactivation of infection in the bone.
A few blood investigations, xrays of the bone and possibly a radio isotope scan will help in establishing the cause.
I suggest you to consult your treating doctor and discuss the issues.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
