I had a plate and screws put into my right ankle which I broke falling down the stairs in 2002. Twenty two years later I still have occasional pain in that ankle. It may be arthritis since both feet have that or it’s just age related. Sometimes it happens when it’s cold out. But I put a Biofreeze on it when it really bothers me and either it helps or is it that I just get busy and forget about it but after awhile pain seems to go away. I guess pain is expected because they did put titanium into my leg. Hope your pain eventually goes away.

Thank you for responding to my post.

It's good to hear you are still walking after 22 years. 🙂 That's what I would like to happen to me. The pain I have off and on doesn't impede any activity, I just don't want it to get worse. I believe I will speak with my surgeon about the future and also about having the repercussions of having hardware removed, in case that is causing the pain.
