hi guys,
I had my total ankle replacement surgery on 24/11/14 in wrightington hospital Wigan. Now 5 months on from surgery im wishing id never had the opperation, im in constant pain and the nerves are still damaged in my foot.
I have had more MRI scans done and im awaiting results of a P.E.T scan i had last week.Is anybody else having the same problems as myself,i could do with advice on medication as the tablets im taking (800 mg tramadol per day & 900mg Gabapentin per day) dont seem to be working for me.i am still no able to return to work yet ..thanks in advance guys.

Really sorry to hear about your problem. However you have asked what experience others have had as a guide to what you might expect, and I had my TAR on 3rd December2014. Since then I have had no pain in the ankle and it seems to be merely a question of learning to walk on it again, which is a slow process but going well. In your position I would be more worried about the cause of the pain and looking for answers.
Good luck
Best

Go get something done.
I had my TAR on 12th Feb 2015 and now am walking unaided with just a managable ache to deal with (though still have one crutch for walking across town).
So lucky with all that could have gone wrong.
How many TAR's had yr man done?

I had sevear pain when active but vertualy no pain at reast and foot up . That gradualy went after 12 months . I tried acupunture and, cold compeses , but tried not to take too many pain killing tablets . I found rest to be beneficial . I also had MRI and PET scans , all of which showed all was well even though I was in much pain .
If all shows well with your scans , Its just a matter of time to heal .
Best of luck
