Had  a tibea plateau surgery about five years ago. A few days ago I got a severe pain at the middle of the shin that permeates down to the ankle making it hard to walk. It has been coming and going gor about a week now and the pain is so bad I cant sleep.
Hi, The pain can be due to infection, muscle weakness, or surgery gone wrong. You can take hot packs to soothe pain and don't force your body to bear weight on the limb as this will deteriorate the condition further It would be good if you consult an orthopedic for a thorough examination. For the time being you can take over the counter medicines like Ibuprofen. Hope this helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
