Had calf implant surgery 3 weeks ago and having sharp pain in feet.

Asked By:New_Me_80 in NC

Had calf implant surgery 2.5 wks ago. My feet are swollen w/ sharp pain on the outer foot and heel area. It's a burning/prickly feeling. I am taking motrin, trying to stay off my feet and elevate as much as possible (some days it's harder than others), and wearing either compression stockings or bandages. I read that this could be due to nerve damage or a shift/compression of the nerves. If that is the case, when will I feel relief and are the compression stockings doing more harm that good?
