Why Am I Getting Pain In My Ankles Fixed With Plate And Screws?
Hi,
14 months ago a kangaroo hit me on my motorcycle, smashing my tibia and fibula about 1 1/2" above my right ankle. I have had a plate with screws on both bones. I have done physio and other exercises but my leg still ache's after I have been on it for a few hours, and more when I put socks and shoes on. Sometimes I cannot walk for a few minutes as the pain is so bad..Any ideas as towhat might be causing it.
