Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should I See An Orthopedist For Cramps In My Calf Every Night?
I tore my Achilles tendon last October. I opted to let it heal with the supervision of an orthopedist rather than to have the surgery. I wore a splint for two weeks followed by a boot for ten additional weeks. I had eight weeks of PT, during which we discovered that I also had plantar fasciitis in the same foot. I was discharged from the orthopedist s care and slowly returned to normal. I have three new phenomenon that I am not sure I should attribute to the healing process and I am wondering what specialty I should visit for help. Can a podiatrist help with the searing burn in my heel that occurs at least five days a week. Should I see an orthopedist for the new cramps in my calf that wake me almost every night? Lastly, who should I see regarding the ankle swelling that occurs regularly? Is there one doctor that can help with all these problems
For all your current problems I suggest you consult your orthopedic surgeon only. He will be able to tell you about searing burn in the heel, calf pain and ankle swelling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel,
Orthopedic Surgeon
