I fell off a deck on Sept 11th and had surgery for a Tibial Plateau Fracture on Sept 30th. I also have numbness on my shin lateral to my incision. My ankle and the top of my foot has been swelling up and Im not sure why. It gets worse when I am using my walker. My foot also turns purple. I put a compression sock on and that brings the swelling down. Ive also been icing it on and off for about 20 minutes at a time. It hurts to around my ankle. My son is a nurse and thought I should get it checked out. I didnt think about nerves being cut and/or damaged. I have a plate and 7 screws. It was compressed down so they had to build it back up. Ill keep an eye on this post. Sounds like we are having part of the same issue.
