I have moderate to severe pain in my forefoot and heel after having ankle surgery almost a year ago ?

Question

(ankle is okay, although range of motion isn't 100%and I still limp slightly) What could this be?

Answer 1

Might be arthritis, fairly common after injury and surgery.

Answer 2

If you live in the UK, we have a specialist foot & ankle clinic at the hospital where I work (NB it is private though) - London Foot & Ankle Centre, c/o Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth, London NW8 9NH.....also a private one at London Bridge Hospital.  Some of the same surgeons work for the NHS at Guy's, one of my friends is a secretary there.

Maybe you could ask your GP for a re-referral to the surgeon or department where you had the op done?  Physio sounds a good idea too.  I doubt if an X-ray would show much, but an ultrasound or MRI might be useful to diagnose any trouble.

God bless you, and hope you get better soon.

Answer 3

you could be using one muslcle more than the other. all your muslces are connected so there could be a problem lets say in ur calf that could be effeciting your ankle! go to a physical theropist and they will help yout out!
