torn acl, heelo numbness, and foot pain
I tore my acl and menescus 18 months ago and had it replaced 12 months ago. Since the injury, which occurred while hiking and hopping off a rock, my heel has been numb and tingling and I have a very sore spot on the ball of my foot. The foot is very still in the morning and the numbness and tender spot is constant. I shared this with my orthopoedic surgeon several times and he kept saying it would go away. It is not improving and my foot is more stiff and sore in the morning than it has been. What do I do next?
Thank you for your help. I did PT for my knee and will start PT for this immediately.

Hello!
You have to go for physical therapy. Try doing sideways movement at the ankle joint and also pushing it down and up every morning for some time. Dorsiflexion and Plantar flexion is a good exercise and also improves the circulation in your foot.
If it does not help then you have to visit another orthopedician for a second opinion. Also check with a neurologist.
Take care!
