Brief Medical History Overview
Ankle joint seized up
I have just been told I have CRPS after a tib and fib fracture (which happened 14 months ago) - my bone was repaired using an external fixator which worked well, however my ankle joint is completely unmoveable/ no dorsi flexion whatsoever - is this normal after this type of fracture, I am being treated with Guanithidine blocks for the CRPS which kills the pain, but the lack of movement is so frustrating after such a long time. Is there anything else out there that I can try to treat this, I am attending both Physio and Hydrotherapy which are helping to build up muscle but don't seem to make any difference to the lack of movement .... any ideas on what i could try next? Is it worthwhile to request an
MRI scan to check for excessive scar tissue/soft tissue?
