Hello everyone-

I had surgery on my ankle 10 days ago, "obliterated" ligament and severe cartilage damage. Will be non weight bearing for 6 weeks. The cast that was put on last week is driving me NUTS. It seems to be rubbing everywhere and now I have sharp pains on the outside of my foot and burning over the whole incision area. When the dr took off the first cast last week, I was in bad pain under my outside ankle bone-and he said the nerve there must have been irritated during surgery. A new cast was then put on. Any ideas whether to have them take off this cast now and see what is going on??? I told the dr to begin with that I had PN, but he didnt really seem to care! The last thing I wanted was MORE aggravation of nerves in my foot!!!
