Joint Pain

When does muscle/tendon pain go away in your foot after surgery?

I have had foot surgery a year ago (to remove a couple of fragments) and I still have pain not at the sight of the surgery but, more near my ankle of the right side. And sometimes the pain goes up the leg. So, sometimes I limp because my muscle/tendon hurts. When does the pain go away? Or when does the muscles/tendons heal?

1. if you had the surgery a year ago and you are still experiencing pain you might wanna check back with your doctor and find out why it's still causing you discomfort, that's an unusually long time for muscles/tendons to not fully heal.
2. i agree with that answer. you should not have pain for that long after surgery. it's possible if you had hardware placed that that is what's bothering you, or maybe not all the fragments got taken out, or etc....there are many reasons. definitely see your ortho doc about it.
