Spine Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

Kindly tell me when it pains more and exactly where is the pain.

There could be many reasons which can be responsible for your pain. It may be related to hip surgery or may not. Sometimes if there is a gross problem in the version of the implant while operating, then it can cause misalignment of ankle too. But that should manifest from the next day and not after 3 months.

Locally there are many problems in the ankle responsible for your pain. It could be plantar fasciitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis, PTTD, etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anuj Gupta,
Spine Surgeon
