A member asked:

Broken fibula, plate and screws - 6 weeks out. last 2 weeks severe nerve irritation/sensitivity in foot 2-3 hrs after eating, then subsides, ideas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Complex question: Swelling on the nerve causes irritation. Its normal for post operative swelling to last around 3 months as the bone is healing. Keep your foot elevated as much as you can. Decrease salt, sugar and spicy foods to reduce inflammation on the nerves as well.
