Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain And White Discoloration Inside Right Ankle Bone Post Surgery?
I had surgery on 11/3/15 on my right ankle/foot. This is the 4th surgery although most of the incisions were done on the outside of the right foot. I have noticed a white discoloration on the inside ankle bone though. There is a lot of pain when I m standing on it as well. The discoloration seems to be spreading it was at first approximately 50 cent size. Now it s grown to cover quite a bit of area. Why would this discoloration happen and is the pain related. My Ortho Dr feels I have a pinched nerve that is causing the pain and sometimes the give away of the foot.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if it is not the healing happening in right way then it can be looks like that and it can be due to infection too, and it has to look for this, taking care of wound is necessary to prevent the wound hope this information helps.
