I broke my ankle a long while back and was on crutches/walking funky for a really long time. my doctor did a surgery or two and while she was doing one of them she lengthened my achilles tendon when i explicitly told her not to. Now the back of my heel and ankle feels funky when i flex my foot forward (plantar flex i believe it is called). It sort of hurts and also just feels really weird like something is pulling.
Will this go away, and how long will it take? What is wrong? I need to know, I can’t find it anywhere, and I want to know what is up so I can sue this quack for doing surgery on me without my permission.
P.S. Never, ever go to Dr. Boyette, Orthopedics East, Greenville, NC because she is the worst doctor on the face of the planet.
well, me phrasing it like this got people to answer… unlike the past 9 questions i have asked which have gotten no answers and were easier to answer than this one, so smartasses, chill out.
It’s called a second opinion.
I answered your question, see now your lying to everyone else who answers your question.
just looking at ur question begging for an answer made me not want to answer… so don’t ask it like that. Ask it like "Ankle muscle pain" or something idk i didnt even read ur extra info
I’m sorry I can’t answer and I don’t think anyone else can really help you. What you can do is see another orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation, bringing along your surgical and injury reports, and a physical therapist. There is probably some solution to your problems.
I don’t think you can sue her either. Usually, patients have to sign a consent for surgery and the doctor can do whatever they deem necessary or in the best interest of the patient.
Good Luck
It seems like you should have had some kind of rehabilitation.
