Thanks for getting back to me. I am now a month out of surgery and still very painful but not as bad as when I came home from hospital and have reduced pain medicine.

Your description of “zaps” regarding nerve pain is what I could call mine too. I also have numbness. When I went back to get stitches out, I explained the nerve pain and was prescribed Gabapentin for the nerve pain. It has helped but not gone away but I am now able to sleep better at night. I go back in two weeks to see surgeon and possibly start PT.

I knew this would be a long recovery, just hard to know if my pain etc is normal.

Sorry to hear about your heel pain. Hope it continues to improve along with your ankle. Take care and good luck.
