Can you walk after ankle surgery?
It depends what type of surgery. If the surgery is to fix a broken ankle and the surgeon put hardware into the ankle, then your surgeon will instruct you to immobilize in a cast or CAM boot for several weeks. If it was an ankle arthroscopy, it will depend on what needed to be done during the surgery. Follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions. READ MORE
How long does it take to realign a sprained ankle?
It will depend on the type and grade of your ankle sprain. What will be important in your recovery will be to wear appropriate ankle support, such as ACE wrap, stirrup or lace up ankle brace, and ankle proprioception and balance exercises as you recover. READ MORE
Why do I still have pain after ankle surgery?
Mild pain is completely normal for 6 months to up to a year after ankle surgery. Help yourself by resting when needed, icing, wearing an ACE wrap or ankle brace to reduce swelling and taking an anti-inflammatory as needed. Always take anti-inflammatory with food. READ MORE
Do you need physical therapy after bunion surgery?
Not always. It depends on what type of bunion surgery, your physical limitations following surgery and the level of pain you are in post- operatively. READ MORE
What to do if your foot hurts after working out?
Give yourself time to heal. You should try resting, icing and taking an anti-inflammatory first since there could be a number of reasons for why your foot hurts. If there was no obvious trauma or injury during your work out, I would start with evaluating your shoe gear. Is it supportive enough for you and the physical activity you are doing? If they are, how old or worn are they? If you still have pain after attempting shoe gear modification and RICE, then you should be evaluated by a medical professional. READ MORE
How long does pain last after broken ankle surgery?
Unfortunately, pain, swelling and bruising after ankle surgery is completely normal. The pain should calm down within the next couple of days to weeks. To reduce your pain, make sure you are taking your pain medication, elevate the lower extremity, and try and ice if you don't have a cast on. You may have mild intermittent pains for up to a year following surgery. READ MORE
Leg pain burning in ankle?
There are a number of ligaments, tendon, muscles, nerves and joints in the foot, ankle and lower leg. The way you are describing your pain may indicate that there may be multiple things going on at once. My recommendation is to seek a medical professional to better examine and evaluate you. READ MORE
What is the quickest way to heal a sprained ankle?
It may take a couple of days to months to heal depending on the type and grade of your ankle sprain. Best thing to do is rest, ice, elevate and wear an ankle brace or compression wrap. READ MORE
Sprained ankle looks a bit deformed?
If it is a small fracture, you may not be able to tell the difference between a fracture and a sprain without an X-ray. Swelling is normal for several months following any ankle injury, including a sprain. READ MORE
Is going barefoot good for bunions?
Actually, wearing wide, supportive shoe gear is better for bunions. Unfortunately, walking barefoot requires you to have more range of motion of the first toe joint that people with bunions don't have. That can cause jamming and inflammation of the bunion area. Making sure that you have plenty of room in your shoes is important as well. READ MORE
Do podiatrists treat ingrown toenails?
Yes, we do. READ MORE
What’s up with my ankle?
I would definitely seek a medical professional. An x-ray is needed to rule out a fracture of the medical malleolus (the bony prominence of the inside of your ankle). In the meantime, you may treat with ice, an over the counter anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen, an ankle brace or ace wrap to provide some compression and rest your foot/ankle. Hope you feel better! READ MORE
