Recommend Mediation For Stiffness And Burning Sensation Near A Fracture

I had a distal displaced fx in my left fibula 7 months ago, which has finally healed after 6 mos wearing a boot . No longer wearing boot for about a week..now have intermittent burning sensation with pain and stiffness in the side of my foot near the fracture, with some mild pain in the calf muscle. Will this dissipate in time or can I do something to relief this? Txing ortho said it was due to the muscle irritation caused by wearing boot.

H In my opinion this kind of problem is very common after removal of boot. Start doing hot fomentation , apply local analgesic cream and do regular exercise. If there is no relief in 6 weeks then you can consult your ortho surgeon.
