Hi my name is Terie and on dec. 12 I broke my fibula playing softball. On dec. 21 I had surgery to repair. I know have 9 screws and a plate. Exactly 1 week after my surgery I woke up Wth my left side feeling as tho I had slept wrong and it had fallen asleep. As the day progresses it did not get any better. I've been to two hospitals ER had CAT scan MRI, ECHO AND EVERY TEST imaginable and still no answer!!! Diabetes- NO, Tumor- NO, Stroke- NO, Bells Paulsy-No, arteries clear!!! Please HELP!! **. A month ago I was taking ZUMBA 2-3 times a week and playing softball, now I'm in a recliner being taking care of by my family!!!

Hi Terie,

So sorry to hear about your situation. I know how you feel, I use to be really athletic myself before my injury.

I have never had that type of injury or surgery that you had, but I do know how numbness feels.

It sounds like maybe you are having nerve pain, which is pretty commen after reconstructive surgery. I would talk to your doctor about an anti infamitoryand talk to him about your concerns.
Does your pain move down your side? and if so where?

Maybe a screw or something is touching a nerve or something. Ice also works wonders for nerve pain too.

I hope that helps. Hang in there!
