Hello,

As mentioned in the history of the pain, I do not think it is nerve damage. As if it was nerve damage, there might be symptoms related to motor control and sensory disturbances which aren't mentioned.

So this is muscle weakness which I feel. Post Surgery we usually recommend people to undergo an exercise program.

This has helped them in my practice of 12 years. As there will be an imbalance between the muscles to bear the weight and transform to the foot this needs only physical therapy intervention to help you get rid of the symptoms.

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

Take care
