I have had 3 ankle surgeries and suffer numbness and chronic pain. i have significant scar tissue by my ankle and achillies. is the pain caused by the scar tissue?

Nerve irritation: Sometimes pain may be due to irritation of cutaneous nerves by scar tissue growth adjacent to the nerve.

Nerve Entrapment: You may have nerve entrapment in the areas of surgery. This problem can be treated but must first be pinpointed to the precise location. You will need a lower extremity nerve conduction study. Consult a neurologist. An experienced podiatrist or plastic surgeon who performs lower extremity reconstruction can help.
