I had surgery last year and my ankle is causing me problems. Any advise?

  • I had a Brostrom Gould repair in August of last year and the pain in my ankle went down dramatically after the surgery however the pain has been getting worst. APAP and IBU's no longer work and naproxen was working, however I now have to take more of it I am at the maxim daily amount of APAP and naproxen. I was taking hydrocoden after the surgery and Tylenol #3for a while. It was not hurting bad enough to take it anymore so I stopped and that was about a year ago. the last three months it has been getting worst. I do all kinds of things to try to ease the pain, home excersies in the morning and night. I have tried heat/cold therapy, stretching and weight training, hot soaks, and about everything else. I am a paramedic. Please anything any advise I just need to get relieve from this. The original injury was due to a 15 foot fall trying to rescue a person trapped.I cannot get out of bed most mornings and don't sleep very well because of it. I am afraid to go to the doctor because they might put me on light duty and then I would not be able to work at my other two jobs.


  • I dont see any other way to get around it other than going back to the doctor. You don't want to get addicted to painkillers and you may have to developed RSD . Find out what the problem is. Three months of pain indicates this is a problem that is not going to go away by itself.
