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.
I have a titanium in my leg from my hip to my hip, today my ankle started hurting, it always lays to the left off my recliner and off the end of the wheel chair. Today when I stood up I could hardly put any weight on it. My leg swollen above my ankle and has rer splotches above the ankle. I did put ice on it which took some of the pain away. What could be my problem?
Based on the history you have shared, it can be inflammatory arthritis and may need serum uric acid levels as well as may need orthopedic surgeon evaluation to check for an implant related infection. Radiographic evaluation of the bones and joints may also be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
