After Ankle surgery numbness and discomforts
Posted , 1 user is following.
On November 8th I just had ankle surgery to clean up scar tissue and fix torn ligaments and possibly a tendon. Apparently only needed the cleaning and tendon retightened if I was told correctly. When I feel the top of my foot near toes it feels like the sensation of novicane numbers. the sensation in toes is normal except for little tiny pricks every once in while. Is this numbers normal this long after surgery. I had a nerve block I guess during surgery which I know weared off after 24hrs. I just started having not really pain but lots of discomfort on outside of ankle where I believe the main incision is. it does feel itchy but also feels like it's stuck on the soft splint cast. which is weird feeling since I can't move it but it feels like somethings stuck. not sure if from dried blood or something. I guess lucky I'm only having these minor discomforts only needed to take pain meds right after nerve block wore off and another at night when gone to bed. has anyone else had these similar feeling with there surgery and with this splint cast on. I go for follow up the 17th to get off. and maybe a hard cast on next not sure yet.
