From the injury: At only 7 weeks out, it is too early to say the burning sensation is anything more than healing of the injury. This is a significant ankle injury and takes time. It may be several months. Be patient ! things will improve if everything was done right.

Nerve irritation: Due to the surgery and swelling there may be irritation to the nerve.
