[|Human|] Hi, I had an accident 10 months ago and broke my fibula and ankle, surgery was done, screw inserted in the ankle and plate in the fibula. Last X Ray showed broken ankle bone to be healed fully and fibula almost healed. Though the swelling has reduced considerably on the fibula side,but the muscles have concentrated on one area on side of the plate and not uniformly spread.They form a small ball shape at the end of the day. Also on the skin on the top of muscles feel dry and is less sensitive compared to other less and also numb. Any insight into this?
[|AI|]  Hello Post surgery stiffness in common you may need physiotherapy and CPM machine mobilization. Physiotherapy will help you. You may have good relief with physiotherapy like IT [Inferential therapy] and TENS[Transcutaneous electrostimulation] along with ultrasound. So if possible you can start that. Take diet rich in calcium, vit D and B12. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
