A member asked:
Its been 4months since my calcaneus injury. i noticed that the right part of my left leg ankle is hypersensitive whenever i touch it. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is not normal: It could be if the fracture was a displaced fx that a bone fragment may be presing upon omne of the nerve branches and may have produced an small nerve tumor called a neuroma or it could be that the skin is over sensitive due to the trauma of the fx and gradually will get better.
