Suggest Treatment For Edema And Rashes On Foot After Surgery With Implant
My daughter has a plate in her left foot from a joint being fused together. She has had symptoms of edema, pain, redness. This took place 4 years ago and starting developing symptoms soon after her recovery. The first diagnosis we got was lymphodema. But the pain has been localized to the surgical area. She is now starting to develop rashes on her foot. If we get the plate removed it is going to affect the integrity of the bone fusion.

hello,
No you should get it removed as soon as possible. it will going to improve her pain and swelling both. Since this plate is present for four years so no fusion is complete and it is not going to change now. I can assure you that she will feel lot better after this plate removal.
