A member asked:

Hi i had ankle repair surgery on 10 september. pain gets worse every day. physio says its normal. should i b concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A person with worsening pain every day, 5 weeks after joint surgery, is probably very worried about it... and should see the surgeon again. If not getting good results, she can see another orthopedic surgeon for a second opinion. Imaging studies may be needed, such as x-rays or an MRI scan. Also, the orthopedic doctor may or may not recommend changes in the physical therapy care.
