What Causes Pain In Legs When The Braces Are Taken Off?
Hi I Have Stretched Tendons In My Ankle And I Went To The Orthopedic Dr And Im In A Brace And Still On Crutches. I Took My Brace Off For The Night When I Was Going To Bed Last Night And My Leg Felt Like I Had It In A Bucket Of Ice! Its Also Doing The Same Thing Tonight And Its Driving Me Nuts!! Can You Tell Me What Could Be Causing This Or What You Think I Should Do??

Hi
Without examination it is difficult to know as for which tendon injury dr has given you which brace.
Anyways if you had history of any trauma and rupture tendon then you should get mri done and particular tendon should be repaired.
If know trauma and only stretch it will take 3 weeks to heal and splint should not be taken off and should do non weight bearing.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
