When a person has surgery, they have to give themselves plenty of time to heal. The healing process is different in each person. If you are still experiencing pain in you ankle after knee surgery, you should consult your doctor.
because the nerves that are in your knee, also run through your whole leg, the nerves were re-directing the pain somewhere else.
i had the SAME problem after both my surgeries. my ankles swelled up and i was in so much pain i was yelling to make it stop.
Please ask a doctor. Or at least go to a medical website instead.
Probably because of the physical pulling to dislocate the hip?
Yes. You can get an ankle replacement surgery.
My ankle just stopped swelling 2 days ago witch was 2 months after I sprained it! so it may be swollen for a while
The leg and ankle may have slight swelling from arthoscopic surgery after 4 weeks. A doctor should be consulted after surgery to make sure things are healing correctly.
1 to 1 1/2 hrs
Only orthopaedic surgeons do ankle surgery
it does depend on the surgery. usually you will be in a splint and you cant walk until you get the stitches out. then you will be in a walking boot or cast for 6 weeks. then you will be in an ankle brace for anywhere from 6-8 months. I'm going to get the surgery soon. this is what the doctors told me.
That feeling is probably just excess fluid from a mild sprain. Press down the tissue of the swollen ankle with your finger, then do it to your other ankle. If the swollen ankle rebounds slower then the normal ankle, it's just a sprain. Elevate and ice it. If not, seek medical advice.

I am not a doctor, but one swollen ankle is often an injury. Two swollen ankles can mean congestive heart failure. It is serious and you should see your doctor as soon as possible.
The cost of knee, hip and ankle replacement surgeries usually include only the procedure and the hospitalization. The prosthesis is paid by a patient separately. Rehabilitation period after the surgery is also extra charged. But there are clinics which provide the packages for knee, hip and ankle replacements. The packages usually include the consultation with an orthopedist, the surgery, hospitalization, meals and the transfer to/from an airport.
I twisted my ankle this morning and it is so swollen I can not get my shoes on.
I think at least one or two months maybe!!
