Hi,
When is your appointment with the orthopedist?
I think you should put your foot down to get imaging study done.
If MRI is inconclusive then you can plan for further NCV study to see if any neuropathy or nerve dysfunction exists.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.
Bye.
Thanks for the response. When I visit the orthopedist I will mention this and see what he says.
Hi,
How are you feeling?
I understand that you had tibia fracture, the rod is in place, but now you are experiencing some pain.
Your pain is down from knee towards ankle joint, which suggests that it would be due to some nerve irritation or nerve impingement.
This nerve irritation or nerve impingement could be due to rod insertion or any fracture fragments impinging on nerve.
I would like to get an imaging study like any X-ray to see for any evidence for rod displacement or fracture fragments’.
A MRI study would be helpful to see for soft tissue study.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.
Bye.
