Default Ankle pain

It is unfortunate that you have had such a poor outcome and such severe complications following your foot and ankle surgeries. If your doctor does not have a recommendation for a referral for you, I would encourage you to go for a 2nd opinion or even 3rd opinion until you find a doctor who can help you or at least knows who to refer you to in your area. At this point, you will need to see a surgeon who specializes in complicated rearfoot and ankle problems - an orthopedist or a podiatrist - and you may need to see a pain specialist as well.
