A member asked:
Recently had foot surgery and my incision on my foot is burning, why now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is this normal?: Burning in the incision may be normal or may indicate something more serious. If your surgery was done by someone other than an md or do I would seek the care of an orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon. One in your area can be found at aofas.Org.
