What Causes Pain, Numbness In Upper Leg After Surgery On Ankle?
I had ankle surgery about two years ago. I broke my leg,ankle,growht plate, and foot. I had surgery and they put two scerws in. Ever since then I have been experiencing this weird pain in my upper leg area, it feels like growing pains in a way, and some ways not. It has recently gotten wose, Ihave been experiencing this throbbing in my thigh, along with it being internally HOT and at night it goes all numb. I thoght it was just bad circulatioon, but I have been propping my leg up and it does not help.

hi,
I think you should get yourself checked by the surgeon who operated you . mean time you can try doing some small leg exercises like static quadriceps and hamstring. do regular ankle toe movents after dipping the feet in hot water. try performing straight leg raise as well. it will take away the pain and you will be fine overall.
thank u
