I had an ankle arthroscopy 4 weeks ago due to an Impingment and stiffness. My ortho cleaned out a lot of soft/scar tissue because i sprained my ankle 2 yrs ago. Before the surgery, im experiencing ankle pain and stiffness first thing in the morning or after period of inactivity like sitting. Then after few steps, the pain will ease and disappear. It tend to ease with movment. Now that its been 4 weeks already after arthroscopy. My ankle is still stiff today, after period of inactivity. Is this normal? The pain when i dorsiflex is now gone, but the stiffness is still here. Im being paranoid now i thought that this will fix the stiffness/pain. Is this somekind of arthritis. Please help.
