A member asked:
Three months sense foot surgery having numbness and tingling ankle swells numbness and tingling goes clear up to my knee am i doing something wrong?

Check with surgeon: Your best bet is to check with the foot surgeon since at 3 months out one would expect some type of improvement to whatever the symptoms were to begin with as opposed to worsening.

Nerve issue: Numbness and tingling at any surgical site is to be expected for the first 3 to 6 months. However, it shouldn't be real prevalent and should be getting better by the third month. I do not know why this creates swelling in your ankle. Need more info like what type of foot surgery? Possible nerve entrapment or other. Could be neuritis consider cortisone injection and consult original surgeon.
