A member asked:
Can a hand held vibrating massager mess up lisfranc foot surgery, if my foot has screws? i was trying to get some blood flow. surgery is 5 weeks old?

By five weeks you should have enough healing to provide stability to your surgery. The circulation should be adequate to allow proper healing unless you know of a reason for impaired circulation. If you want to increase circulation use a heating pad.
