A member asked:
I had total foot/ankle reconst. surgery and in pt i have no pain but i feel a need to crack my ankle when i stretch it i feel like i'm pinching nerves?

Recovery time: It takes time to recover from surgery (sometimes a year). I'm glad to hear there's no pain and stretching your ankle tendons is normal, especially after disuse for a long period of time.
