What Causes Numbness In Foot And Ankle Post Surgery For Broken Tibia?
I broke my tib/fib 6 weeks ago and had internal fixation surgery. Most of my foot is numb now as is my ankle. The numbness seems to be spreading although it is a bit better in the morning. I m not sure if I need to see my MD or wait for 10 days for my next checkup? I am not doing any weight bearing yet. Thanks, B

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of a pinched nerve. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing nerve conduction studies.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
