I just had a plate put in my fifth metatarsal 13 days ago and I can t sleep because of the itching, pain and tingling in my entire foot. The weird feeling is where I had my incicion and it is healing pretty good but I need to get some advice on how to stop thesw annoying feelings in my foot. And the ibuprofen my surgeon prescribed is no good. What can I do??

Hello,

As a first line management, you can take antihistamines like Cetirizine for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
