Why Can’t I Put Any Weight On My Ankle After An Arthroplasty?

six weeks ago had total arthroplasty of the ankle. Got ahead of the swelling with ice and was putting full weight on it walking short distances. Now today can t put any weight on it at all, no swelling but an extremely painful pressure spot kind of originating inside of the talus area. Whats up with that.

Hi,

It is like that initially and will improve with time.

You can consult a physiotherapist and plan for stretching and weight bearing exercises and you will improve soon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
