I had ankle replacement almost 2 years ago since arthritis had eaten it up and I was nerve on nerve. Everything was going great but big toe joint later became red and swollen gout suspected tried a few things it got better. Have seen ortho surgeon pass few weeks, x-Ray done, etc. all was fine. I do have off and on issues but nothing serious. The past few days the inside area at my ankle joint replacement has been tender to touch and hurts to walk. It is slightly red and warm to touch. It is also swollen some.
