Could The Pain In The Groin Through The Hip Due To Sedentary Position After An Ankle Surgery?
HI, I have had ankle surgery to fix a broken fibula on my right side with a plate and 8 screws. I am 5 weeks into recovery in a cast and non weightbearing. So I am lying down or sitting up with leg elevated. However, I am noticing that both sides I get a groin pain through to the hip. Is this du to a sedentary position and having oe leg higher than the other?
