Had op on April 18th. Had problems with nerve block and still don't have 100% of feeling back.
Been to see consultant tonight as was called back early due to the early probs with nerve block.
Since last Friday night and when I lie down I have the most awful pain in my ankle and shin it lasts for a very long time . When I try to get out of bed while in pain it takes a while for feeling to come back in foot so I can weight bear. Consultant says he is baffled as to why for the past 4 nights this should happen. Taking pain relief with no effect for this pain.
Above my knee is swollen sometimes but have had no grief from op site or joint.
Has anyone had these nightly pains or when the lie down for a rest during the day . I am so tired and not sure what I can do to help myself.
Consultamt says if still the same in a week to go back. But the thought of no sleep for another week not sure how I will cope.
Thanks in advance

but after seeing physio today he thinks it's nerve damage, so told me to go to GP and get gabopentin which is pain relief for nerves after surgery etc. so managed to get an appointment 2 hours later. How lucky was I. I went and asked and there were no appointments so they said ring at 8 in the morning and you will get one so I said yes but I won't have a lift tomorrow but I have one now. Showing her my crutches.. So they fitted me in.
So let's see what the next few days bring.......some much needed sleep I hope
