Are The Reactions To The Stitches Post Surgery Normal?
Hi I had surgery 1 week ago to put pins and plates into my ankle. After I broke it in 3 places. I m not getting a burning sensation where my stitches are on the right side of my right ankle. The left side feels tight. Is this normal or should I go back to the hospital as I have a back slab on to protect my ankle from moving. So I cant see the stitches.

dear friend
you must go back to the hospital and have the stitches looked at at times a few of them may have developed infection and may need removal to drain the pus from there.
