Hi I'm 5 weeks post ankle surgery for a complicated break (2 breaks to ankle, and a heal and shin break along with torn ligaments.
I'm now in a boot and have some movement/ exercises that I've been doing on physio advise but I'm limited with weight bearing.
Yesterday I tried to do more and ended up having to move my ankle quickly (out of boot) as a reflex reaction. Since this morning I've been having shooting pains in my shin. It's not a DVT because it's definitely at the front not the back and it's not hot to touch etc.
Anyone had this and got any words of advice. Typical it's the weekend so I can't phone and get advise from the consultant!
Just annoying because I'd got the pain fairly well under control until now and I'm hoping I haven't set my progress back.
