Is he taking Plavix after the stents? (this is typically done).
I wonder if he had a blood vessel break in that foot?
Has he had the foot X-rayed for Charcot foot (this may come
from a cracked or broken metatarsal bone).
Also checked for gout?
It would be really nice to NOT have RSD.... I'll look around for Plavix reports, just in case. If I find some I'll put them up here.
Also there is another possibility...if he had treatment with these antibiotics recently (within 6- 12 months)....Cipro, Levaquin or Avelox? They cause tendon ruptures which are very painful.
The ankle has several tendons holding it together, and if one of them blows out...it is complex to diagnose or fix.
