What Causes Pain, Swelling And Burning After The Titanium Rod Insertion?
I got 2 spiral fractures the of of January in my right shin above my ankle. I had emerg surgery and got a titanium rod and 3 screws. I have been having pain, swelling and sharp burning pains. I was told I can get the rod out in a yr. Im wondering if there is something wrong or is this part of the healing process?

Hi,
Don't worry. It is safe. The pain, swelling and burning sensation will get better. Wait for a few weeks after the rod adjusts with your muscles and bones.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
