Thanks for the query
If You are having pain in the same site of your previous surgery, you need to meet your surgeon to for further verification.
He may ask you to get done X ray of your foot and ankle to rule out any any complication of your previous surgery.
If pain is lid you can take pain killers like tablet Diclofenac twice daily for 2 days, if its not reduced, then go to doctor.
