What Causes Chronic Pain In Right Ankle When With A History Of Surgery For Broken Ankle?
I broke my right ankle in February of 2010 and had surgery with a titanium plate put in with 2 screws on the opposite side. It has been a dull, nagging pain for me ever since, esp. when it gets cold or rains or snows. I did not receive physical therapy after the surgery as I did not have insurance and it only bends about half of what my untainted ankle can bend. How do I get rid of this chronic pain? Is surgery the only answer? It s always a dull, nagging pain, no matter what. It will swell up 3x the size when I am on it for too long. Please help me! I have no money to pay for an answer as I don t even have health insurance right now.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, physical therapy was very much needed and you have to think it about that because that is the only way you have until then you can try any NSAID and best option is Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day hope this information helps.
