TAR with Infinity specialy made jig
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hello I have two days ago had a TAR on my R/H ankle . Its the Infinity TAR with the Jig specialy made to measure after a MRI scan before the op.
I also during the op was given a nerve block to help me deal with the post op pain.
Now that two days has passed my foot is in plaster and i have a intermitent stabbing pain that has been with me from the start ( even with the nerve block) and a numb big toe that has just appeaed.
I was wondering if other had the same problem but after reading the posts i see that is common.
Still as a new poster i will keep the fourm updated.

I had an Infinity TAR also 10 weeks ago. No stabbing pain at all but big toe is now almost recovered from numbness. Keep your foot raised as high as poss whenever you can and wiggle your toes.
I am walking about almost pain free now but the foot is still swollen. I don't bother with a crutch in the house but take one on outdoor longer excursions and walking my dog.

So they will give you pain until you get them up to strenth.
Stick with it and it will come good I am sure.

Reduced pain killers from Tramidol to Paracetinol and ibrob.
Very happy with the outcome.
