Suggest Remedy For Walking Difficulty Post Broken Ankle Treatment

I broke my ankle last year had surgery and physical therapy. But now I am having a problem with putting my feet flat on the ground. When I sit in a chair, my toes or heels are up. I have specially made shoes I wear all the time. My feet don t hurt. But I am worried they will start if I don t get this straightened out. What do I do?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi! I am Dr. Neel Kudchadkar and I will help you with your health issues as regarding your feet. The problem that you are facing post surgery is due to incisions made on the fascia and the tendons of your feet. There is an element of normal post surgical healing in which there is a centripetal contracture and this is called as the third phase of wond healing. I would ask you to kindly feel relaxed and take Serratiopeptidase 50 mg three times a day to reduce the inflammatory response to surgery. I assure you that your feet will not begin to pain and even if they do so, they can be handled with NSAID pain killers and topical aceclofenac or diclofenac gel. I wish you all the best, and you are free to ask me any private questions at www.bit.ly/askdrneel. Have a great day.
