Knee Joint Pain, Feeling Of Rod Pushing Upto Joint Post Operation For Spiral Tib Fracture. Cause?
Aloha, I am recovering from a spiral tib/fib fracture . I am approx. 8 weeks post op having had a rod and screws to repair the tibia . The pain I m having is in the knee joint . I have full range of motion and am full weight bearing. My doc does not think I damaged the tendons in the joint but I feel like the rod is pushing up into the joint. Any thoughts on what might be causing the joint pain?
if any external fixator is there, our body has tendency to reject it.sometime our mind also give command to us that something is there which is not natural..you have to do gentle exercise of ankle, leg muscle, knee joint, will increase your muscle strength and also prevent the pushing of the rod
