Nothing is making the itching stop. The worst part is that the left side of my leg has nerve damage and is slightly numb from where a screw was put in, and the sensation extends to my knee. The feeling is very strange. Thankfully it’s only the left side of my leg. The right side, that had the more extensive hardware put in, (2 tightrope devices) is totally fine in regards to nerves.
I can’t wait until I’m fully recovered. This whole ordeal is the worst.
Thank you for the advice! I am non-weightbearing until December 8th. After that I can walk with my boot thing on. I’ll still be using my walker then as a precaution. I don’t want to fall and break anything else.
I’m going to take things slow so I don’t need any future surgeries. My mom had ankle surgery and didn’t care for herself properly and started doing things too fast. She ended up needing a second surgery because of that, and now she probably needs a third, but is putting off going to a doctor. I do not want to end up in a situation like that.
