What Causes The Pain In The Hip After A Ankle Surgery?
Hello. I recently broke my right ankle, and had surgery this week. All is well with the ankle, but my left hip is so sore, and I have started to feel painful if fleeting pin prick sensations. I assume it s because I have been sitting with my right leg elevated unnaturally and overcompensating for my non-weight bearing right leg , but would be interested in comments. Is there anything I can do, heating pad? Ice? Thanks.
