Suggest Treatment For Ankle Pain After Undergoing An Ankle Surgery

My name is Gwendolyn Fails, D.O.B.10/08/1969. You did ankle surgery times three on my left ankle. I had a total fracture with all ligaments torn. When I arrived to the Vaughn Regional Medical Center in Selma, AL I could turn my foot upside down. I worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse. I worked approx. ten years after that date. The injury was in 2003. Since then I am experiencing extreme pain to both ankles but worse to the left ankle. I also has developed Narcolepsy(sleep apnea). I applied for social security and was denied and went to the reading and was denied. I am now awaiting for my Attorney( Micki Beth Stiller) to apply for a appeal for the decision. If there is anyway you can forward needed paperwork to my attorney it would greatly be appreciated. My number you can reach me at is 334-782-1044 or 334-875-2828 and leave a message. Thank You for your time. Gwendolyn Fails

Hello Mr fails, I could understand that u have been operated thrice may b for one other reasons, now u could have developed kind of reflex sympathetic dystrophy with stiffness in ankle so best treatment would be to go for physiotherapy, do warm water streching exercises, wear pepper able socks while walking, keep Limb elevated, and take medicines like Ultracet, lympedium, rantac&multivitamin. Send me x rays for further study & need some blood investigation.
Let me know how did u felt after advice.
