Hello
Yes Id say that is normal I had ORIF surgery on my ankle with nerve block and took longer for nerve block to wear off followed by same symptoms of tingling
Good luck on your recovery

Hi Abigail. I had a fusion done on my talon navicular joint on Feb. 20. nerve block was amazing. Days 2,3,4 a blur of pain killers. I am in a split cast with ace bandage until March 4th. my whole foot has been feeling tingling, squeezed like in a shoe way to small. constant throbbing even though I always have it elevated.
Not sure if it should feel this way. I think the tingling I feel is where surgery was done. How does the rest of your foot feel? I m debating whether to travel the 3.5 hrs to see if bandage is too tight.
