Pain in my ankles??

I am having a severe pain starting in my ankle and radiates up through my leg! Tylenol arthritis and such doesnt help!! Anything else I can do? I've tried ice packs and heat packs...ive tried toes above the nose...almost everything!! Its some serious OUCHIES!!! lol thats what my son used to say!!

Sounds like you have tried all the home remedies.  Next call would be to your pcp.  If the pain is bad enough, even the ER.

Have you started a new exercise program?  Changed your diet significantly?  Getting enough liquids?  If the pain is worse with standing on the foot, ER might be the best option.  Sounds like medical advice is what you really need.  In the meantime, do your best.  Hope the ouchies get better soon.

Hugs, Kathy

Yea if its not feeling any better by tomorrow then i am going to think about the ER...i called my PCP and they will call me on monday morn (hopefully)...thank you...i didnt know if there were any "old wives tales" regarding pain...lol

One of my Discharge Orders and Instructions specifically says that "severe calf pain" is something to be concerned about.  Call your surgeon immediately....better yet, get to the ER as soon as possible and let them call the surgeon.  Better safe than sorry, yes??

Oh, I should have checked your status first...I see that you are pre-op, so post-p concerns probably don't apply here.  Still, I'd go with the better safe than sorry rule.  Let us know how this resolves!!!  :)
