shooting pain after Lisfranc surgery

by Elizabeth
(Chandler AZ)

I had surgery for Lisfranc injury 10 weeks ago. I am still having sharp, shooting pain in my foot. Am still in air boot. Are these healing pains of the nerves?

Hi Elizabeth,
Without examining you I have no idea what the pain is from, which means you should call your surgeon's office and ask he or she if this is anything to be concerned about as they would know best.

by: Anonymous

The shooting pains are due to nerve damage. You could have CRPS - Chronic/Complex Regional/Residual Pain Syndrome. I've heard it different ways. I had an extremely severe dislocation, not just fracture (there's a difference) MANY years ago and suffer from CRPS (some pronounce it Crips), originally called RSD (Regional/Residual Sympathetic Dystrophy, depends on who you talk to. Some say Regional, some say Residual). No one believed the extreme pain I was having until my surgeon thought I could have that. Treating with a pain specialist and on heavy duty pain meds since. VERY painful, at least mine is. Everyone has their own pain threshold so everyone's reaction is different, but the symptoms are the same - pains described as shooting, electric shocks, stabbing, etc. See a pain specialist, maybe that's what you have.

by: Ralph Peterson

I had the surgery on 1/30/09, injury was on 1/23/09. Had three screws and one pin removed three weeks ago and at the same time had surgery on my ankle also. Started therapy two weeks ago and have so much pain and lack of mobility that I still have to get around on my scooter or wear my walking cast. I will probably have to have the joints fused as it was a pretty severe break and dislocation.
