I broke my leg and ankle ankle 2 years ago. I have a plate in my leg. But I am still in pain with my ankle (right ankle) . I am finding it hard to sleep at night.

    Lauren, I hate to tell you this, but you may need to have your plate taken out. I know I did. Best call your doctor for an appointment, he may want to x-ray

    Hi Lauren,

    I have been in lots of pain since operation 10 months ago. Had my plate and screws removed 4 weeks ago and getting little better daily.  Starting my physio soon too. You probably need the plate out. But ask for an MRI scan afterwards.0
