After meniscus repair, it’s common to experience ankle or heel discomfort if your gait (walking pattern) changes or if muscle tightness develops due to reduced activity. The morning heel pain may also suggest plantar fascia tightness or altered weight bearing after surgery.
Probable causes:
• Altered gait mechanics post-surgery
• Tight calf and plantar fascia
• Weak quadriceps or ankle stabilizers
• Improper footwear or prolonged immobilization
Next Steps
If pain persists beyond 1–2 weeks or worsens, consult me to reassess gait, knee alignment, and foot biomechanics.
