A member asked:

Hi, i broke my ankle on 20/7.. i had surgery on it on 24/7 plates and screws inserted. however at night i get a burning sensation. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be: The nerve endings were injured or disturbed during surgery and sensations like those can go on for months. This isn't serious as long as there is no redness,New swelling or increasing pain.
