Suggest Remedy For Pain In Ankle And Pulling Sensation In Toes

Nearly four weeks ago I broke & dislocated my ankle, since then I have had two surgical procedures one ex fix for a week to reduce swelling followed up by a internal fix, since discharge from hospital I ve managed the pain quite well but in the last few days I have developed a hot tingling pain localised to the top of my foot & the base of my toes. When moving the toes I can feel a pulling sensation in my foot. The area does not feel hot to touch & I have got good capillary refill in my toes. I have been NWB on my right leg since the accident happened, elevated at every opportunity & ice used on a regular basis. Regards P

thanks for asking
pain u are getting may be due to impingement of nerve medial plantar which supplies sensory supply to foot also supplies muscle of great toe & other toes the pain is due to bone spur pressing against nerve or the screws or plate used for internal fixation
i wnt to ask u that did you exercise after discharge or not since lack of propr stretching of muscle may cause edema or sometimes pain so i advice you to do some stretching exercise
regards
