Pain after Comminuted fracture surgery
My father underwent the surgery of comminuted fracture on 15th of December. He was advised by the surgeon to walk using walker since then. Now he's been advised to walk using a stick. Sometimes, there is acute swelling around the ankle bone where the bolts to hold the rod are fixed. And he feels discomfort and pain during nights. He is avoiding painkillers spooked by its side effects. I am sharing the recent X-ray of the fracture aite. Please advise some way to get relief from pain and is the progress of the bone development on track?
