A member asked:
Why do i feel a burning and prickling sensation on my inner and outter ankle? i had a trimalleolar with a dislocation and an orif 7 weeks ago
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.
