Well I am officially 12 days post -op and overall things are going quite well. I have full extension, and am at 127 flex. I am done with crutches and went back to work on Monday. I still take Ibuprofin on a regular basis but am done with the pain meds. My leg is still pretty ugly - lots of bruising, but the swelling has gone down significantly. Here's my question - My shin and ankle are very (very, very, very) tender. Even just touching the area lightly is painful, and I don't remember that being the case with my last op. Has anyone else had this problem and how long did it last??thanks
Ask the anaesthesiologist if it could possibly the start of CRPS (aka RDS)?https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/crps-complex-regional-pain-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20371151
