i had a fibula rod plus 4 screws to stabilise my ankle inserted around 10 days ago. i had a nerveblock that was amazing and was able to weight bear immediately and pain has been manageable with lots of ice and keeping well elevated

but in the last few days my knee has started to lock whenever i bend it which is quite uncomfortable and i am starting to get muscle spasms and increased pain around surgery sight and in the leg.

any advice? any similar experience? what exercises did you do - i am keen to regain mobility

thanks
