@whimsicallyinpain I have been experiencing similar pain (extreme burning sensation) over top an incision scar that is over 25 years old but has needed to be reopened during additional needed surgeries from a really bad break that also became infected with MRSA. Anyway, I have been battling this burning, and sometimes itching, sensation for about 2 years on and off; and for the last 4 or 5 months all of the time; worse at night. I have undergone PT and have strengthened the actual ankle but the burning is still unbearable and my therapist said it is nerve damage, either from the ankle injury itself, or my lower back which is in bad shape also. I have a nerve conductivity test scheduled for the 20th of January for my back and I am hoping they can at least pinpoint where this problem with the ankle is originating from. This post I will save because all of the information checks all of the boxes of what I am going through. Thank you so much!

@valleygirl1955 Oh my dear god that sounds terrible I’m so sorry! Honestly, it could be what I had or it could be CRPS I first got misdiagnosed with CRPS then my doctor told me he thinks it’s my nerves and I had burning, constant tingling, sometimes I’d be in pain and yet wouldn’t feel my own touch (probably the scariest thing ever), I couldn’t even “wake” up my leg/ankle because I just flat out could not feel it even if I punched it as hard as I possibly could, nothing. Another thing I had is it would wake me up during the night and I also could not fall asleep too because of that pain. I went for a second opinion and they told me it was fibromyalgia and put it “nicely” that it was just in my head. Went back to the first doctor and decided to have surgery with him. He was actually mad at the doctor who told me “it was in my head” because if I did listen to him I would’ve turned out worse. Im thankful and so happy with the surgery. Honestly, whether it’s CRPS or the tarsal tunnel nerve+perineal nerve it’s better to have surgery.
I wish you luck! 🙂
